<p>Season 3 of NCHV’s The Road Home podcast is coming soon! In Seasons 1 and 2 we explored traditional affordable housing development projects, and innovative short-term approaches, respectively, as the means to ending veteran homelessness. In Season 3 our focus will shift to examine housing justice as an integral piece of the effort to end veteran homelessness. Using an equity lens, we’ll explore how specific demographic characteristics impact an individual veteran’s ability to access affordable housing. &nbsp;If we want to end homelessness for veterans, we need to create a path forward that works for the most vulnerable and repairs the harmful impacts of systemic inequities and institutional racism. And that is what we'll talk about this season. We’ll discuss how specific demographic characteristics impact affordable housing access and delve into strategies and projects that mitigate those impacts. We hope you enjoy this important conversation.</p>
