ABOUT THE SERIES
Where the numbers
meet our neighbors
Each month, Community in Focus takes one topic from the Community Focus Report off the page and into conversation. Host Traci Nash sits down with two guests: someone whose work shapes the issue, and someone who lives it. Together, they talk through what the data means for the region and what's being done about it.
