The conclusion of our interview with the inimitable Terri Anderson, Spokane Director and Policy Lead for the Tenants Union of Washington this week on the podcast.
If you haven’t listened to https://www.rangemedia.co/p/housing-in-crisis-feat-terri-anderson (PART 1), I really recommend you do so before diving in here. You’ll thank me later.
