Robin discusses immediate priorities and resource needs facing nonprofit affordable housing developers and operators and hopes for state and federal funds that are essential to fuel continuing Abode Communities’ operation and mission:
"We're also preparing for a significant difference in the future while we return to our new normal…to address the affordable housing and homelessness crisis that…will be even more critical." —Robin Hughes
