A must listen!  A fascinating panel discussion with senior leaders from the National Low Income Housing Coalition, National Education Association, National Alliance to End Homelessness, NAACP, Community Catalyst, and Children's Defense Fund about why each of their organizations joined the Opportunity Starts at Home campaign and the various ways in which housing is deeply connected to their own sectors of work, from education to civil rights to homelessness to healthcare to child advocacy.

This panel was recorded before a live audience in Washington D.C. on May 10, 2018.

Episode 2 - Broadening the Housing Movement, A Panel Discussion

Truly understanding all the dimensions of the nation's housing affordability crisis requires listening to those with lived experience – people who have experienced homelessness and housing instability.  In this episode, we look at issues of affordable housing through the stories of seven people across the country who have been directly impacted.  

These stories were captured by the campaign's partner at the "Where Will We Live" campaign at the National Housing Trust and Enterprise Community Partners.  "Where Will We Live" amplifies the voices of those with lived experience and arms them with the knowledge to take action to ensure affordable housing resources are protected and expanded.

Episode 17 - Where Will We Live?

The Opportunity Starts at Home podcast takes a deep look at opportunity in America, especially how housing shapes that opportunity.  Of all the factors that affect our ability to thrive, both economically and socially, few are more important than the homes in which we are raised.  Housing predicts the kind of neighborhood you’ll grow up in; the quality of school you’ll attend; and your access to transportation, amenities, resources, job opportunities, and social networks.  Housing is simply fundamental to achieving the American Dream.
