Ain’t Nothin Going On But The Rent

​

DC talks to Roshun Austin (President and CEO, The Works, Inc.) about affordable housing, gentrification and displacement in Memphis. The costs of home buying, and even renting, is sharply increasing but people’s wages are not following suit. This leaves many Memphians in a quandary as they seek to find homes that they can afford that are in safe spaces. There is some assistance available for low income families but what about mid-range families? Where does this leave them? They unpack this situation, the land grab, out-of-town developers and more. It was an  informative, power-packed interview. Whether you are a buyer, seller, renter or owner in Memphis, this impacts you. Have a listen.
