Episode 8 - "Food Banks, Hunger, And Affordable Housing"

Opportunity Starts at Home

“Very nearly we talk about housing just as much as we talk about hunger. The people we serve keep telling us it’s housing; it’s rent; it’s having a safe place to call home.” – Jeff Kleen, Oregon Food Bank Recorded in Portland, Oregon, this episode explores the intersections between food insecurity and affordable housing with Alison McIntosh of the Oregon Housing Alliance and Jeff Kleen and Anneliese Koehler with Oregon Food Bank. The Oregon Housing Alliance is one of seven state partners receiving capacity building grants from the national Opportunity Starts at Home campaign. Oregon Food Bank is a key partner of the Alliance. Alison, Jeff, and Anneliese discuss their multi-sector collaboration to influence better housing policies, including best practices, recent successes, and challenges.
