Pleas from people who were homeless or struggling to keep their housing spiked last year, according to new data from the Bay Area's helplines reaching a four-year high that highlights just how desperate the region's affordable housing crisis has become.Nearly half of the almost 52,000 people who called 211 the nationwide social services hotline in six Bay Area counties last year needed housing help, from a place to shelter for the night to assistance paying their rent so they wouldn't be evicted.
