    In tonight’s show, Melissa Bowman, who co-founded Yes In My Backyard WR, and Lula Woldemariam from House of Friendship join Mike for a conversation on the actions and policies that can be taken to re-orient towards housing as a human right, ensuring we prioritize homes for people first — ahead of commodities for investors. The two share their concerns and possible solutions for those being impacted across the continuum, and we talk about the impact housing has on mental health, and environmental sustainability.
