This lively fall episode of the Holistic Housing Podcast opens with a special guest appearance from the listener who won our “podcast bundle” at the NACCED conference, and a discussion of things like “Can a vegetarian, in good faith, eat ants on a log?” (thanks @AnimalHoPo for the suggestion). Next, Laura, Heather and Sarah are joined by Peter Lawrence, Director of Public Policy and Government Relations at Novogradac & Company, LLC. Peter discusses his career in housing, starting with his auspicious beginning as President of the student housing co-op at his undergrad alma mater, UC Berkley. Plus, learn whether Peter can do a South African accent; who his extremely well-known mentor at the University of Chicago was (and whether this person offered him a stay in the Lincoln bedroom in later years); his work founding the ACTION campaign; and what tax credit programs, beyond LIHTC, could ameliorate America’s affordable housing needs.
