Almost 66 percent of Rhode Island voters approved a November ballot question asking if they wanted to borrow $120 million to create more housing. But there are also signs around the state of a housing backlash, with some residents and local officials opposing the development needed to expand the housing stock. And the median price of a home in Rhode Island is now $480,000, about 12% higher than one year earlier. Here we are as the state tries to dig its way out of a housing crisis that developed over many years. As executive director of the Housing Network of Rhode Island, Melina Lodge is on the frontlines of this issue. The network is a membership group for agencies committed to developing affordable housing. How does the high cost of housing affect Rhode Island? And do advocates like Lodge have a strategy for overcoming obstacles?
This week on Political Roundtable, I’m going in-depth with head of the Housing Network of Rhode Island Melina Lodge.
