Building Housing in Postwar Honolulu Through Collective Community Action.  This episode discusses Alfred Preis's design for Veteran's Village in Palolo Valley, which was built in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Through collective action, veterans financed and constructed their own homes in the midst of one of the worst housing crises in Honolulu's history. Historian Laura McGuire and Honolulu architects Karla Sierralta and Brian Strawn will discuss the project and whether it offers lessons for tackling the island's contemporary housing crisis.

The host for this episode is Laura McGuire. The guests for this episode are Karla Sierralta and Brian Strawn.
