‘I’m very concerned:’ Affordable housing developer on shortage of units in Central Florida

Ryan von Weller with Wendover Housing Partners — a group behind many of the local affordable housing projects — joined anchor Justin Warmoth on “The Weekly” to help us better understand just how dire the crisis has become.
