Document Summary
Public policies and in particular, housing policy related to public housing, redlining and zoning have contributed to cities segregated by race and class. These have been exacerbated by other policies and shifts in the economy including a retrenchment in funding for social services, labor market restructuring. Community development seeks to undo that legacy, by bringing investments back into high poverty neighborhoods. These investments are increasingly being driven by the private sector, encouraged through regulation cra, financial incentives (lihtc, nmtc, healthy food financing initiative) and guarantees (small business lending, fha) Innovation: equitable mixed income housing, community land trusts, worker cooperatives, lending circles, tapping into the health sector. Reactive rather than proactive, holding on to programs that exists. Biggest challenge: orientation of next democratic administration. How do we build a case for cd instead of investing in mobility strategies (fair housing) Doesn"t recruit like most private sector companies- you need to be more proactive.
