Housing series wraps with in-person event
The gap between what people earn and the housing they can afford has been widening in the Adirondacks.
Add to the problem a shortage of available housing and constraints on development and you’ve got a housing crisis.
This summer, Adirondack Explorer launched a series that shows how Adirondack housing issues are connected to other community challenges. As part of the reporting, the articles also highlight efforts underway to offer potential solutions.
Adirondack Explorer’s “Taking Stock of Housing” series is wrapping with an event, comprised of individuals and organizations doing housing work across the region. Connect with others who care deeply about how to fix this problem, while we ask “what’s next” for how to get there.
Event highlights include:
