Brigades Present Housing Projects in the Network

This week, Code for America Brigades, Brigade community partners and Code for America Community Fellows discussed projects in the network focused on housing. Topics ranging from ensuring tenant rights, to projects aimed at assisting homeless populations were showcased in an effort to share knowledge and increase visibility into the work that is being done in communities across the country. Code for Asheville, BeLoved Asheville, Open Austin, Code for San Jose, Code for Boulder, and Code for Boston shared their work, as well as lessons learned in the projects they have embarked upon.
