When we brought the Sound of Ideas Community Tour to Akron, we got the perspective of tenants, landlords, advocates and legal experts on the issue of eviction. A recurring theme was the need for education, for renters and property owners alike. Join us for The Sound of Ideas to hear thoughts on Akron's high eviction rate, and ideas to reduce it.
