Conclusion: Building a Bridge Between Housing and the Wealth Gap

This opportunity has allowed us to create and tell a story using thorough secondary research and primary research. Through the perspectives of our interviewees, we’ve come to the conclusion that- as of 2022- there is this founding idea behind the relationship of the wealth gap and housing: you either have it or you do not. Regardless of where you are in the wealth gap, everyone has lived in place they call home. Whether you live in a mansion in Sunny isles, a two-bed apartment in Doral, or even a small efficiency in Hialeah, having a roof over your head gives you a place to rest, spend time with friends and lay the groundwork for future. Which is why the United Nations believes that housing is human right, rather than a luxury or tangible commodity. It's important to know the ins and outs of complicated issue like housing. That way you can see issues that affect your local community. By helping friends and family, advocating for your neighborhood, or even voting local elections help make this world a better place not only for our self's, but for the generations after who see the work, that we all made for a better tomorrow.
