Conclusion of Program
Workforce Housing Has Never Been More Important
Not only should everybody have a place to shelter when disaster strikes, but access to housing permeates far beyond first-order problems. Public health issues arise from increased risk of disease spread, mental health issues become commonplace, and healthy economies require their workforce to be motivated and productive.
