The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by half a point this week, and further cuts are expected between now and the end of next year.

Mortgage rates have already started coming down in anticipation of the rate cuts, making it easier for many to buy a home. However, home ownership still remains out of reach for millions of Americans.

On this week’s episode of “Plugged In: A WABE Politics Podcast,” politics reporter Sam Gringlas speaks with housing reporter Stephannie Stokes about the housing policies being proposed by presidential candidates and what the state of Georgia is and isn’t doing to address the issue.

Plus, a conversation about a new state law dealing with mass voter challenges and how it could affect voters experiencing homelessness.
