Is Affordable Housing Actually Affordable? Plus, Flood Relief and Planting More Trees
Following increased rain, families across the southwest side are dealing with neighborhood and basement flooding. However, this comes at an increasingly precarious time for FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency tasked with helping states, impacted individuals, and first responders prepare for, respond to, and recover from weather-related disasters. Block Club Chicago’s Jamie Nesbitt Golden and Borderless Magazine’s Aydali Campa are here to discuss the latest, including a new investigation that explores the growing costs to build affordable housing, and how the Trump administration is coming for our voter information and housing protections. Plus, more things to get excited about in August.
Good News: South West Side Students Plant Trees and the Chicago Muslim Green Team
