Episode 142: Solidarity as One Antidote to the Housing Crisis — with Nick Montgomery
Subscribe via:
Nick Montgomery joins Below the Radar to talk solutions to what he calls 鈥榮tructural precarity鈥� in housing.
He is in conversation with host Melissa Roach about a newly launched project he has co-founded, Solidarity Housing, a new model that supports homeowners in transitioning their homes to become permanently affordable housing.
A writer, theorist, and permaculturist, Nick is deeply interested in housing alternatives, collective living, and finding more sustainable ways to live a thriving life in community with others. He and Melissa speak about the legal framework and model that Solidarity Housing seeks to provide, and how to encourage solidarity across the homeowner-tenant divide through engagement in mutual aid.
