In the Arena: Carol Ventura, RI Housing

Each week Joe Paolino Jr. interviews leaders in Rhode Island – today he interviews Carol Ventura, the Executive Director of Rhode Island Housing.

Paolino asks why is it that we have such a housing crisis when our population hasn’t significantly changed over many years. Ventura mentions that this is a much more public issue than ever before, and that RI is last in the creation of new housing in the country.

Be sure to watch In the Arena every Sunday at 7am on ABC6
