After the Election: Five Practitioners Speak Out

The 2004 national election gave the country four more years with a president and a majority in Congress that have shown little support for the concerns of community developers.

What does the recent vote mean for those who spend their time building affordable housing, ensuring fair lending and engaging in other vital community-based projects?

Moreover, given how much work progressive groups put toward getting people to the polls, what do the disappointing election results mean for future efforts?

Shelterforce asked five writers to comment.
