The Opportunity Starts at Home podcast takes a deep look at opportunity in America, especially how housing shapes that opportunity.

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.
