Earlier this year, Reverend Dr. Carmen Porco announced his retirement after 50 years working in low-income housing. Over his expansive career, he has served as CEO of Housing Ministries of American Baptists in Wisconsin, Executive Director of HUD Housing for American Baptist Homes of the Midwest, and President of Porco Consulting. He ran several low-income housing centers and founded educational centers in Madison and Milwaukee and developed the Wisconsin Anti-Poverty Model, an innovation in low-income housing that allows residents to live with dignity and hope for a better future.
Today the Reverend joins host Christina Lieffring to discuss what he has learned over his decades of professional experience. They explore how affordable housing has fallen short and what Porco believes is needed to address the inequity in housing and beyond.
