103 [S2E06]: Nathan Ferreira, on How to Build Actually Affordable Housing

The world of public housing has moved past the negative reputation it's had from decades of national neglect. Thanks to legal changes at the federal level, our guest today, Nathan Ferreira, is having success making more public housing available, as the Director of Real Estate Development at the Bloomington Housing Authority. He talks with us about whatever happened to the term "Section 8", about the power of Low Income Housing Tax Credits, and about the reestablishment in the city of a housing land trust -- an idea that was tried by a standalone nonprofit for about 20 years but gave up the ghost in 2010.

And Today's Last Pitch pays compliments to the chef who cooked up the median at Third and Grant.
