Why Housing Matters

Today, regardless of race, ethnicity and age, we are increasingly both asset-poor and cash-poor. How do our suburbs meet the challenges of our post-bubble economy? Communities need innovative approaches. The Interfaith Housing Center of the Northern Suburbs, the area's premier voice for fair & affordable housing, honors the 25th Anniversary of Homesharing by highlighting innovative, community-based based ways to promote diverse communities and affordable housing. Featuring Maury McGough, Director of the Chicago Program Center for HUD's office of Fair Housing & Equal Opportunity, Mark Miller, Author of "The Hard Times Guide to Retirement Security: Practical Strategies for Money, Work and Living," Interfaith's Homesharing Coordinator Jackie Grossmann, and Homesharers Bonnie Jackson & Gwen Johnson.
