A new report from the Hyannis-based Housing Assistance Corporation found that hundreds of low income Cape Codders have to wait for seven years or longer to get federal housing assistance vouchers. Then, when they get those vouchers, they often can't find affordable housing in the region.

Kathryn Eident talked with report author, Noah Hoffenberg, about his findings and what they mean for a region that's already in an affordable housing crisis.
