Home is a place to spend time with loved ones, rest and rejuvenate for the day to come. But for many Kentuckians, this isn’t an option. We have an opportunity to take down the walls and barriers to housing and renovate Kentucky’s housing policy. We’re going above and beyond the old frameworks to paint a fresh vision of what’s possible. Alison Johnson of Housing Justice League in Atlanta will help us by sharing about Georgia’s recent passage of statewide housing bill HB 333. Angela Briggs will share stories and experience from field organizing for renters’ rights in Barren County.
