A Vision for Social Housing
The housing crisis was where the economic meltdown started: a bubble popped, and foreclosures spread across the country. Now houses stand vacant while people sleep on the streets in record cold, and in some places public housing is actually destroyed to make way for new development. Cities around the country spend money on housing but the crisis doesn't go away. Is it time for federal involvement? What's the solution?
We talk to Catherine Albisa of the National Economic and Social Rights Initiative, author of Bringing Human Rights Home. Three Volumes Complete, Rob Robinson of Picture the Homeless and the Right to the City Alliance, and David Muchnick of Housing First! and author of Family relocation in urban renewal about public housing, empty homes and homeless people, and what "social housing" would look like.
