About this episode
New York City Council Member Lincoln Restler is advocating for better tracking of the city’s supportive housing units, which include subsidized housing that connects people to services like job training, benefits counseling, and mental health support. Meanwhile, workers at an Apple Store in Short Hills Mall in New Jersey are making efforts to unionize, becoming the fifth Apple location in the country to do so. Plus, with Election Day just over 200 days away, WNYC’s Community and Partnerships Desk is transforming some laundromats across the New York metro area into civic engagement hubs. George Bodarky, who leads the project titled ‘Suds & Civics,’ joins Michael Hill to discuss insights gained from interacting with the community.
