Reporter Roundup: COVID-19, Prisons & Housing

Season 1 Episode 163

On the June 11 edition of the Reporter Roundup, KPCC reporters discuss affirmative action, public housing and COVID-19 and prisons.

KPCC’S Emily Elane Dugdale shares what she has learned about the coronavirus’ impact on those incarcerated in California’s state prison system. 

The issue of affirmative action could be going before California voters this fall, reports KPCC’s Josie Huang.

Reporter Aaron Mendelson looks into how a surge in the demand for public housing has led to a lack of affordable housing.
