In today’s episode we break down all your confusion around affordable housing. One of the barriers to us understanding what affordable housing is, is that there is no universal definition of the concept. We’ve invited Greg Tedesco from the City of Hamilton and Jeff Neven from Indwell to our CityLAB class to discuss what affordable housing looks like in practice. The two also give students some tips on how they can get more involved with these issues and help build networks with people who are in need of this kind of housing.
