Making Rent: The Struggle for Affordable Housing
September 9, 1998
According to the Clinton administration, about eight hundred thousand people in the United States are currently homeless. "A growing shortage of affordable rental housing is partially responsible for the rising number of homeless people," says the National Coalition on Homelessness.
On this edition of Making Contact, we'll hear from housing rights advocates who'll talk about this trend and what they're doing to protect low-income housing.
Featuring:
Clemencia, Roxbury resident; Brian, homeless resident of Boston; Yvonna Berguize and Jen Jones, Homes Not Jails; Michael Hardesty, writer, former member of the rent board in Oakland, California; Colleen McGuire, tenants' rights attorney, member of the National Lawyers Guild.
