The Polk County Housing Trust Fund’s Affordable Housing Week started today. 

Along with an array of speakers, the event will feature a museum-quality exhibit, “Undesign the Redline,” Thursday and Friday at Franklin Junior High School. The exhibit examines social housing segregation and today’s issues through narratives. 

All events are free and open to the public. Included will be a “One Economy Report” by author Arlinda McKeen and “Segregated in the Heartland,” by journalists from Governing Magazine, both on Thursday, and a Friday bus tour. 

Saturday will include the “Can I Be Your Neighbor Design Challenge.”
