The Opportunity Starts at Home podcast takes a deep look at opportunity in America, especially how housing shapes that opportunity. Of all the factors that affect our ability to thrive, both economically and socially, few are more important than the homes in which we are raised. Housing predicts the kind of neighborhood you’ll grow up in; the quality of school you’ll attend; and your access to transportation, amenities, resources, job opportunities, and social networks. Housing is simply fundamental to achieving the American Dream. Episode 1 - "Good Housing is Good Health" with Dr. Megan Sandel Episode 2 - "Broadening the Housing Movement," A Panel Discussion Episode 3 - "Housing Policy is School Policy" with Heather Schwartz
