In this episode, Liz Darrow speaks with housing advocates about a new plan to get everyone in our community housed. They call it The Big Lift.
An important function of this episode is to contextualize this new housing platform within the shifting political scene of Bellingham. As we face upcoming changes to civic leadership with this new election cycle, it is an important time to ask ourselves what emergencies in our community need immediate addressing, and what will we turn to for guidance.
The Big Lift plan is an important start. Below you will find the finalized plan in its entirety, as well as an article by the Bellingham Herald that provides an overview of the topic.
