FREEDOM — More civic engagement at local and state level is needed to reverse the lack of affordable rental property in Carroll County, said Mount Washington Valley Housing Coalition Executive Director Victoria Laracy at a countywide panel discussion held Tuesday.
The panel discussion, "Housing Challenges in Carroll County," held at Camp Calumet in Freedom was part of the Carroll County Roundtable, one of four quarterly Public Health Advisory Council (PHAC) meetings convened by Carroll County Coalition for Public Health (C3PH), which is among the 13 regional public health networks located in New Hampshire.
