Habitat for Humanity has been creating housing opportunities for more than half a century, one home and one family at a time. We explore the difference their approach is having on people and places and their potential to thrive. Also, can we power more of our cities and towns through solar? The technology is available, but getting to scale is not so simple. Plus, an update on property tax fixes.

Guest Voices: Norm Miozzi, Habitat for Humanity Greater Dayton; Jason Chamlee, Habitat for Humanity Greater Cincinnati; Ollie Kroner, Office of Environment & Sustainability Cincinnati; Bill Agel, Farmer; Rick Lohnes, Fmr. Clark County Commissioner; Adam Sokolski, EDF Renewables North America; State Rep. Kevin Miller (R), Ohio’s 69th District; State Rep. Dani Isaacsohn (D), Ohio’s 24th District; Brian Massie, AxOHTax Campaign, and more.
