Episode Notes On Thursday, the Mayor and city officials announced a 21.4 million dollar contribution toward building four student residences. The city says the grant, which is going to the not-for-profit UTILE, is part of a new “portfolio” approach to housing. The announcement is part of the city's push to have 20% social and affordable housing by 2050 – but that approach has come under fire from tenants' groups who say social and affordable are very different goals.
