Voces Criticas ~ No Place Like Home ~ Oct 12 2017

Santa Cruz County is experiencing a major housing crisis.  Steven McKay, Associate Professor of Sociology at UC Santa Cruz, is the co-Principle investigator of a research project called "No Place Like Home" to better understand the housing crisis in the area.  Hermes Padilla is an undergraduate student who was part of the research team for "No Place Like Home" after taking Professor McKay's class. This study involved well over 1,400 surveys and interviews with local residents about how they are experiencing the local housing crisis.  They, along with the other researchers, will be discussing the findings of their study at a community event scheduled for October 19, 2017 at 7PM in downtown Santa Cruz. The event is the kick-off event to Affordable Housing week with a wide-range of county organizations and community groups.
