HOUSING AS A HUMAN RIGHT

LIKE NEW ZEALAND, the United States has its own full-blown housing crisis. According to Jacobin magazine there is 'no U.S. state where a full time minimum wage worker can afford to rent or own a one bedroom dwelling.'

The Laura Flanders Show examines the American housing crisis and asks what a bold,progressive housing policy would look like. It looks at some of the challenges and victories in the campaign for green, affordable public housing.

Featured guests are: Cea Weaver, Campaign Coordinator, Upstate Downstate Housing Alliance, Daniel Aldana Cohen, Assistant Professor of Sociology, University of Pennsylvania and Anita Long, Volunteer, CASA - Community Action for Safe Apartments.
