On Monday the Philadelphia Inquirer posted an opinion article where Weitzman’s Claudia Aiken (Director of the Housing Initiative at Penn), Vincent Reina (Assistant Professor in City Planning) and Sydney Goldstein discuss the cities need for long-term solutions to the housing crisis, which includes issues around housing affordability. They discuss how housing insecurity has gotten much worse with COVID0-19, but that it was a huge problem before the pandemic even hit. They also discuss racial discrimination in housing as well as local efforts in hopes to help, even after the pandemic is over. The article is very interesting and eye-opening.
