About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of housing policy on community health, featuring insights from Jason Reece.

Last month, we discussed in depth a paper written by local researchers that examined how housing policy contributed to the quality of life of Columbus' Linden community. Today's episode is a continuation of the conversation around how housing policy directly affects the health of individuals and our community at large. We're joined by Jason Reece, associate professor in city and regional planning and vice provost for outreach and engagement at Ohio State. He’s another co-author of the paper, “ A History of The Impacts Of Discriminatory Policies On Housing And Maternal And Infant Health In An Ohio Neighborhood. ” Sources: https://www.housingwire.com/articles/hud-emergency-housing-voucher-program-will-be-depleted-in-2026/ https://cmhanet.com/Home/PaymentStandards https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/local/2024/02/13/columbus-section-8-waiting-list-has-grown-how-many-people-are-on-it/72491020007/
