Advocating for Affordable Housing: Through the Lens of Habitat in Cheyenne, Wyoming- Episode 130

In this first episode of our exciting series on affordable housing and construction in Cheyenne, Wyoming, we join forces with the Southeast Wyoming Builders Association and their board president, Sam Weinstein, to tackle a pressing community issue. Lindee Wiltjer and Rhea Parsons dive deep with our special guest, Dan Dorsch from Habitat for Humanity, who also serves as the advocacy chair for SEWBA. Together, we explore the true definition of affordable housing, the importance of addressing stigma around low-income housing, and the innovative Pronghorn Project that aims to provide 12 new units next year.

We discuss the challenges faced by those with medium incomes who struggle to afford homes in today's market and the significance of fostering conversations about these community issues to strengthen our community. With insightful commentary on the legislative session and key housing bills like Senate File 40 and House Bill 68, we examine the vital difference between affordable housing and housing insecurity. Dan's powerful quote, "look beyond your front door," reminds us of our responsibility to care for the most vulnerable in our population. Join us as we work towards investing in home ownership and building a brighter future for Wyoming!
