On this week’s episode, Congressman Greg Landsman joins to talk about the Campus Housing Affordability Act, his new bipartisan bill to make dorm life attainable for current and former foster youth. We discuss the college dorm model in his home state that inspired the bill, how the legislation would work, and since he’s on the committee that oversees Medicaid spending, we chatted a little at the end of the Big Beautiful Bill and how its cuts to Medicaid might impact families.

U.S. Rep. Greg Landsman (D) represents the 1st District of Ohio. Prior to his election, Landsman served as a member of the Cincinnati City Council from 2018 to 2022.
