In this day and age, affordable housing and economic mobility can be difficult to come by, especially for those in the minority. This is where Alicia Matricardi comes in with New Economics for Women. NEW is a nonprofit focused on building affordable housing and looking at how to move families into economic stability. In this episode, Alicia talks with Athena Paquette Cormier about NEW’s history and mission for the community, as well as their plans for the future. She also relates how she went from being a volunteer at NEW as a young girl to becoming the Director of Real Estate Development and General Counsel.
