With alarming frequency individuals, households and whole communities are being displaced as a result of a growing wave of real estate investments upscaling formerly affordable apartments found across the Twin Cities region. Tenants who formerly lived at Crossroads at Penn in Richfield, along with HOME Line and a coalition of affordable housing nonprofits worked with Twin Cities PBS to create a 60-minute documentary lifting up the stories of affected residents, showcasing the community impacts of displacement, and highlighting the urgent need to preserve private-market affordable housing. Watch “Sold Out: Affordable Housing at Risk” on TPT MN at 1 p.m. this Sunday June 11 or TPT Life at noon next Sunday, June 18 to watch it on air! The video will also be accessible online at bit.ly/SoldOutTC at any time after this Sunday.
