Housing is on a lot of people’s minds in Nashville: how expensive it is, how hard to find it is, how many tall-and-skinnies are popping up across town, etc.
In this episode, we examine how the red-hot Nashville market specifically impacts working class and recently arrived immigrants and their families. We’re joined by community members, outreach worker, and educators to learn about how development and rising rents are making cultural communities and vital services harder to access for many immigrants and recently-arrived refugees.
But first, we will hear from WPLN’s Blake Farmer about what the leaked Supreme Court opinion could mean for the future of reproductive health care in Tennessee. What questions do you have about the future of abortion access in the state? You can let us know by leaving a voice message here.
