The students of COMM 1830: Solving Public Problems (SPP), a Theme Semester coursework component of the IPPL, hosted a public dialogue regarding student off-campus housing concerns.

The basement of the North Liberty Rec Center came alive on the evening of November 16th, as a diverse group of citizens and stakeholders came together to discuss housing and transportation needs in North Liberty. The group talked about the direction they want to see their community move and tangible steps to take in order to get there. 

IPPL was in the news recently for the first of several affordable housing conversations. Up next is North Liberty and then Iowa City. Each conversation will help to set the stage for the April Johnson County housing summit.
