Exploring Equitable Housing Solutions with Domenica Perrone
Public Hearing is back with a new series on Equity-based Housing Solutions. Throughout this series we will be focusing on how communities might address the housing crisis and support unhoused populations through creating accessible, equitable, and sustainable solutions. To kick us off, we’re talking with Domenica Perrone (Instagram @dfperrone), a Worcester resident with a background in public health who was the 2021 recipient for Central Mass Housing Alliance’s Judy Brown-Cahill award, and currently serves on many boards involved in housing efforts in Worcester. Domenica and Josh explore some of the current challenges, the questions we should be asking as we journey into this topic, and the concept of NIMBY-ism; a “Not In My Backyard” mentality that is lethal to populations of people in need of services.
Public Hearing is a series-based podcast and radio show from Action! by Design about designing sustainable and thriving cities; ones that are rooted in equity, Justice, and Joy. Follow our new Twitter account at @PublicHearingMA!
