Event Description

Yale @ Gateway Speaker Series
Monday, November 16, 2015 6pm
Room N100 Gateway Community College, New Haven 06510
Moderated by Paul Solman, Economics correspondent for PBS The NewsHour
An expert on the politics of U.S. health and social policy, Jacob Hacker is the author of Winner-Take-All Politics: How Washington Made the Rich Richer and Turned Its Back on the Middle Class, written with Paul Pierson (2010, paperback 2011).In 2010 with support from the Rockefeller Foundation, he and a group of multi-disciplinary researchers including Greg Huber and Mark Schlesinger of ISPS developed the Economic Security Index (ESI), which measures the share of Americans who experience at least a 25 percent decline in their income from one year to the next. The ESI is regularly updated, and each year, Professor Hacker and his team release additional supplemental reports that extend one or more aspect of the ESI.In 2012, Professor Hacker with Nate Loewentheil (Yale Law) wrote an economic blueprint, “Prosperity Economics: Building an Economy for All,” that sets forth a plan to broadly spread economic growth and security for Americans. The proposal was supported by a coalition labor, community and civil rights groups as part of a new campaign called Prosperity for All

Laying the Cash Tracks for Community Impact

LISC CFO Christina Travers is among the impact investing leaders who contributed commentaries to a new book, The Social Justice Investor, and joined a panel discussion at today’s book launch. In her essay, “Laying the Cash Tracks,” (reprinted here) she explains the evolution of LISC’s capital markets experience—noting how discouraging Wall Street conversations eventually led to transformative, community-focused investments.

Sharing the Story of Social Justice Investing

With the launch of the new book, The Social Justice Investor, LISC’s Christina Travers reflects on the ways that CDFIs have tapped the capital markets to deepen their impact—working to upend lingering misconceptions among some investors. "Whether we are financing affordable housing, small businesses, health, safety, climate resilience, racial equity or jobs, we see financial performance and local impact as part of the same whole."

EPA Awards GRID Alternatives Solar for All Grant

LISC partner GRID Alternatives has been awarded a $249,800,000 Solar for All grant from the EPA to advance renewable and clean energy sources for affordable housing communities across the country. “The grant is an incredible boon to the movement to decarbonize homes and lower energy costs that burden millions of everyday Americans,” said Michael T. Pugh, president and CEO of LISC.
