On today's episode of Architectette we welcome Cori Callahan, the Program Director of Bike & Build. Bike & Build pairs a cross-country bicycle trip with efforts to combat issues related to affordable housing and has been a thriving institution for 20 years with over 255,000 volunteer hours, 4000 participants, and 11 million miles biked. Sadly, summer 2023 will mark the non-profit’s final two rides. We talk about: - The structure of the Bike & Build program- Typical participants- How the program tackles education and action to improve access to affordable housing- The impact of the program on communities nationwide and the impact on participants- The reason for the program’s end- How you can support the 2023 riders!>>>Connect with Cori:Bike & Build: https://bikeandbuild.org/SUPPORT Bike & Build: https://bikeandbuild.org/support/organization/FOLLOW the 2023 Rides: https://bikeandbuild.org/follow/National Low Income Housing Coalition: https://www.nlihc.org/Low Income Housing Institute: https://www.lihihousing.org/Okanogan County Long Term Recovery: http://www.okanogancountyrecovery.com/Bike the US for MS: https://mssociety.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=cms.page&id=12324k For Cancer: https://4kforcancer.org/rider/Habitat for Humanity: https://www.habitat.org/volunteer/near-you/find-your-local-habitatNPR's The Outsiders Podcast: https://www.npr.org/podcasts/795090517/outsidersUS Department of Housing and Urban Development: https://www.hud.gov/>>>Connect with Architectette:- Website: www.architectette.com (Learn more)- Instagram: @architectette (See more)- Newsletter: www.architectette.com/newsletter (Behind the Scenes Content)- LinkedIn: The Architectette Podcast Page and/or Caitlin Brady>>>Support Architectette by leaving us a rating and review!>>>Music by AlexGrohl from Pixabay.
