RVA Revisited: Public Housing Makeover

While we gear up for Season 3, we invite you to revisit some of our favorite episodes from previous seasons. For almost a century, local government has provided “public housing” for our most vulnerable residents. But here in RVA, there’s a plan to replace our public housing communities with something completely different. On this episode, Rich sits down with Steven Nesmith, the CEO of the ⁠Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority⁠. He is spearheading this bold new plan, and a "tough love" approach, that he says may END public housing as we know it in Richmond.
