Housing Justice Leaders Discuss Affordable Housing and Economic Justice

Why is economic justice crucial to the work of building affordable housing? How are leaders in the field advancing economic mobility, housing stability, and community empowerment in the face of historic inequality? What can they teach us about strengthening neighborhoods and towns across the United States?

At the town halls, which took place from April 26 to May 24, 2023, housing equality was examined through a specific lens: housing and economic justice, food sovereignty and security, homelessness and community, culture and displacement, and media narratives about housing.
