For decades, Twin Cities PBS has covered stories about homelessness and affordable housing. Check out our collection “Under One Roof: Stories of Minnesota’s Housing Crisis.”

When Twin Cities PBS Producer Kevin Dragseth was a teenager, he was mesmerized by the Living Colour song "Open Letter (To a Landlord)." Years later, the song impacted his documentary Sold Out: Affordable Housing at Risk. Aiming to learn more about the song's origins, he reached out to one of the songwriters, Tracie Morris, who sheds light on the roots of the New York City housing issues it addresses.
