S02E16 – Rural Housing and the changing American Landscape, An Interview with NREA Keynote Speaker Mr. Ben Winchester

Episode Summary

This episode of the Rural Voice begins our series of interviews with upcoming National Rural Education Conference speakers to be held in Green Bay, Wisconsin, in October of 2022. We Interviewed Mr. Ben Winchester, a former guest on the podcast, regarding the changing trends in housing from urban to rural areas of the United States. They discuss the changing housing landscape and need in communities, the influx of people moving to rural America, and the potential impact on education. While the data can help track these trends, Mr. Winchester suggests that each community may have unique needs. He further indicates that housing should meet the needs of the population's specific subsegments, yet much housing development does not consider those needs. https://extension.umn.edu/contacts-community-development/ben-winchester This episode is sponsored by Win Learning
