How to Talk About Housing Issues

Post

On March 28th, the Home for All Initiative hosted a convening on Strategies for Discussing Housing. Frameworks Institute brought their latest research for how to talk about housing issues. This work titled, Piecing it Together, A Framing Playbook for Affordable Housing Advocates, was presented as a follow-up to their 2018 research, You Don’t Have to Live Here, Why Housing Messages Backfire and What You Can Do About It. Together these two publications show challenges cities and jurisdictions face when engaging community in conversations about housing, and how re-framing the housing discussion can help bring people to the table and ensure a productive conversation.
