The Orleans Citizens Forum (OCF) held a forum on the availability and cost of housing. In Orleans, many residents are experiencing a housing crisis, and others cannot afford to move here. The panel brought us up to date on the challenges facing us and the solutions being worked on. The panel and discussion included:
