We Live Here is a public research and dialogue platform that brings a local lens to the national housing crisis. Focused on living affordability and security in New London, CT, it explores the historical events and systems behind widespread affordability struggles, helping build a deeper shared understanding of how we got here.
The project is supported by a Mellon Foundation grant to Connecticut College and carried out in collaboration with The Housing Collective through the Center for Housing Opportunity Eastern Connecticut (CHO-EC).
