Ep134: A home for every income

The Houston Housing Authority's new approach to affordable housing involves building complexes with units reserved for families of different incomes. These new apartments aim to both attract those who can afford the rising costs of living and protect low-earners in danger of being pushed out of their longtime neighborhoods, while also providing space for people who earn something in between. However, not everyone is on board, especially as many fear affordable housing could strain their neighborhood's infrastructure and discourage investment in the neighborhood. Erin Douglas, who reports on the economy for the Houston Chronicle, joins real estate reporters R.A. Schuetz and Nancy Sarnoff to discuss mixed-use housing planned for the Fifth Ward , East End and Near Northside .
