love seeing the wisdom of former students out there... Austin Harrison "Memphians should resolve to do what they can to push our local leaders to make Memphis a city that chooses people first. This means holding out-of-town slumlords accountable to ensure they are providing livable and sanitary conditions, especially those slumlords using local, state, or federal housing subsidies. This means reorienting our economic development strategies to foreground Black neighborhoods and other working class communities in order to close our racial wealth gap. This means expanding our existing public Pre-K program to include all families. This means reimagining the way our city views local law enforcement and (most importantly) the way local law enforcement view us. This means so much more, but most importantly, this means all of us getting more engaged politically at the “local-est” of levels. We must ALL resolve to hold our leaders accountable if we want to see this city choose people first.”

"Since the 90s, I have worked to address the lack of accessible housing and advocate for the development of more. My work runs from affordable housing projects to bespoke high-end private residences such as barrier-free apartments, garden suites for aging-in-place, multi-generational congregate communities, and single homes. I do design, user and stakeholder engagement, project facilitation and management, post-occupancy evaluations, design manuals, and sit on technical and research committees. Why do I do this? Because housing is a basic human need; having housing that works for inhabitants is imperative. Humans have complex relationships with our homes and we cultivate what we need from them technically, functionally, culturally and psychosocially. We know HOW our housing can be accessible. Right now, I am dedicated to identify and address barriers to implementing this information. So that Canada can actually be more accessible." #EveryoneEverywhere #AccessibleHousing #CodeHarmonization #dignity
