Become a YIMBY. Get involved locally. Become a landlord offering units below $600/month, even if just renting out a spare room of your own home.

Lack of affordable housing in the US is a huge issue. We have underbuilt for decades while tearing down SROs and it is a root cause of homelessness.

Becoming a landlord and offering below market rent is an interesting suggestion I've never considered. Previously I've had concerns about buying property with the intention to rent because by purchasing the property at all I'm applying upward pressure on housing prices. Its definitely worth thinking about, thanks!
