Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack We had a lot of people ask if would we do a reaction podcast to the Biden vs Trump debate, and were not that keen to be honest. But then it happened and all the worst fears about the Gone Man vs the Con Man came to life on screen. So we relented and got Colorado-Based Economist and friend of the pod, Constantin Gurdgiev on to talk through the slow moving car crash and all of the implications it has for America, the Presidency, Ukraine, NATO, the BRICS countries and the "West." We tried to keep it light. But this was a total disaster for Joe Biden.

The newest episode of the Affordable Housing Podcast is now available. In this episode, Membership and Operations Associate Allison Ward speaks with Katie Coleman, Director of Communications and Public Affairs at the Nevada Rural Housing Authority to discuss the Home at Last University (or HAL U) project that was awarded a NALHFA Award of Single-Family Excellence in 2020. Be sure to check out the below project description to get a sneak peek into our conversation: From the instant when homeownership is a twinkle in a buyer's eye, education should be the driver behind every decision made throughout the buying process. As all “housers” (that's what we like to call ourselves at Nevada Rural Housing Authority) know, the homebuying process is mega complex and results in one of the biggest transactions most of us will ever experience in our lifetimes. Data also tells us that education not only helps a homebuyer's success but also that of a housing finance agency and industry -- low delinquency rates point to the benefit and positive outcomes of solid homebuyer education. Home At Last™, a program of Nevada Rural Housing Authority, makes it a priority to provide valuable and relevant education to its homebuyers each step of the way (even beyond the close). In fact, because homebuyer education is a cornerstone of successful homeownership, Home At Last™ has made it a cornerstone of its entire program. Home At Last™ University (HAL U for short), is the premier education and training brand created for homebuyers, lenders and real estate professionals who are part of our Home At Last™ universe.

While there are many creative ways to address the affordable housing crisis, the development of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) is one that is quick to build, does not require a public subsidy, and can be integrated into existing neighborhoods practically seamlessly. Unfortunately, cities and local governments have erected great barriers to their development. In this episode of the Affordable Housing Podcast brought to you by Eden Housing, host Joanne Greene speaks to Senator Bob Wieckowski, a champion of affordable housing who represents California’s 10th Senate District. As Wieckowski brings to light, many barriers still need to be conquered in order to reflect the notion that ADUs accessorize the mother house and should not be treated as new developments.

In this short podcast series we're showcasing talks that took place in April 2019 in Dublin under The Vienna Model: Housing for the 21st Century, an event with exhibition and seminars co sponsored by Dublin City Council and The Housing Agency. In this podcast, the second in the series, you can hear Irish voices exploring how we create affordable housing in Ireland. You hear Jim Baneham, of the Housing Agency, describing what the cost rental model is and how it can work, as well as the first pilot using this model. In 'cost rental' homes, often apartments are provided at cost not profit in a public housing initiative with tenants paying rent which will cover the cost and maintenance of the property. Since Jim Baneham talks of the critical importance of land you then hear John Coleman from the new agency, the Land Development Agency (LDA)exploring the role of the LDA and how it is seeking to ensuring public land is used to achieved quality housing. Professor Michelle Norris, a social scientist from UCD who is an expert in housing policy and in particularly social housing, then shared her comparative research between Ireland and Austria so we have a better understanding of how both systems work and what we, in Ireland, can learn from Austria. Professor Norris is Head of School, School of Social Policy, Social Work and Social Justice at UCD. Check out a recent publication : Byrne M, Norris M. (2019) Housing market financialisation, neoliberalism and everyday retrenchment of social housing, Environment and Planning A, journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0308518X19832614 Here's a piece from January 2019 on the affordable housing scheme that Jim Baneham is referencing on Enniskerry Road www.irishtimes.com/news/social-aff…yford-1.3778016 Pictured are: Prof Michelle Norris, UCD, Dr Rory O'Donnell, Director BESC, John Coleman, CEO, Land Development Agency, Ailish Comford, Fair Rent Homes, Jim Baneham, Housing Agency and David Silke - image credit Arthur Carron Photography And the music you hear in the podcast is by Michael Gallen.

The Bay Area, along with the entire state of California, is facing a housing crisis. There are a multitude of complex causes, including a history of under-building, obstructive policies, and a constantly increasing demand for housing. In this episode of the Affordable Housing Podcast brought to you by Eden Housing, host Joanne Greene speaks to Caitlyn Fox, Director on the Justice and Opportunity Team of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI). As Fox explains, housing is the most foundational component of the opportunities that an individual and a family get access to in their communities. It determines where children go to school, what types of jobs individuals have access to, and how long it takes to commute to work. She offers brilliant insight into ways we must continue tackling the crisis. RESOURCES For additional information on this topic, visit: http://www.https://chanzuckerberg.com/ http://edenhousing.org
