Podcast Drop:

Affordable housing is a topic that is top of mind in any economic climate, but more so when inflation is high and monthly expenses become more difficult to manage. The team at Independent Living of the Genesee Region works to assist community members with advice and assistance related to securing housing or shelter. ILGR Rapid Rehousing Housing Coordinator Kristen Lazarony joined our weekly podcast, Independent Perspective, to talk about housing programs and services in the Genesee County area.
