Affordability Strategies with Jenny Schuetz
Steve Guggenmos and Corey Aber
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, there wasn’t enough safe, affordable housing to meet the need, and 10+ million renters were spending more than half their income on housing. In this episode, Steve and Corey talk with Jenny Schuetz – fellow at the Metropolitan Policy Program at Brookings and a leading voice on urban economics and housing policy. Together, they take a closer look at strategies for increasing affordable housing beyond the COVID-19 economic crisis.
