Summary: In this month's podcast we hear from Erika Poethig, Associate Director of Housing in for the Program on Human and Community Development at the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. The MacArthur Foundation has been a long-time advocate of affordable rental housing preservation, and has funded vital preservation efforts and research to enhance these efforts. The Foundation is also a major sponsor of Solutions for Working Families, providing support for several events dealing with rental preservation, including a daylong institute on rental preservation and a special reception open to all conference participants. In this podcast, Erika explains why affordable rental housing preservation is such an important policy focus at this time.
