In 1994, Chris and his wife, Lisa, cofounded LDG Development in Louisville along with business partner Mark Lechner. The Dischingers are committed to building better lives through developing quality, affordable communities for hard-working families and active seniors. Today, LDG has over 200 employees and developed more than 20,000 units in multiple states. Resident Services Manager Elly Green shares about providing residents with extra support through onsite medical care, after-school programming, cooking classes, and more. 

They hit on these topics: 

  • What makes for a good tailgate party at a UofL football game?
  • Why they shifted from building single-family homes to multi-family units?  
  • What does "affordable housing" actually mean?
  • Should everyone own a home? Or is renting better for you?  
  • What can we do as local citizens to advocate for more affordable housing?
