The housing crisis is undoubtedly linked to the fight against global warming and racial inequity and require a holistic solution. We cannot continue to build affordable housing while ignoring drought or extreme heat; we must increase our resilience against extreme climate. We cannot build affordable housing without an awareness of how racism has resulted in BIPOC communities facing housing insecurity. We cannot be content to work within ineffective systems and with limited tools that are unable to produce as much housing as we need. The challenges that face us require a fearless positivity; building in the now while forging tools for the future.
