Design For America at Yale looking for community partnership
Hello!
My name is Beichen, and I am a Yale student involved in Design for America, a student-run club that provides human-centered design solutions to various problem spaces in the New Haven area. Our projects are year-long and completely free.
My team is looking for community partners to work with for this coming academic year. We would be happy to offer our time to work with you to address any potential problem spaces concerning any aspects of the initiative that you think may benefit from our help. If you are interested, please check out our DFA website to learn more about human-centered design, our past projects, and our mission: https://www.dfayale.com/
Please let me know if such a project could be of interest to you, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have more questions. Thank you very much.
Regards,
Beichen

Dismantling Structural Racism in Community Development Finance
In an opinion piece for ImpactAlpha, LISC COO Annie Donovan draws on the expertise she honed as head of the CDFI Fund to illustrate the layered ways that BIPOC community development entities are locked out of federal tax credit allocations and other resources. "The disproportionate results reflect the same deeply seated structural barriers that prevent minority-owned enterprises from accessing credit in other parts of the economy," she writes, explaining that Congress, and the rest of us, must help remedy this inequity.LISC CEO: Investing in Black-owned Businesses is Good for America
In a lively Q&A with Tony Lawson, co-founder of ShoppeBlack, LISC's CEO Maurice A. Jones talks about the many levels of impact that investing in black-owned small businesses can have on our country's wellbeing. The intentional effort that created the racial health and wealth gap can only be undone through intentional effort, he explains—a remedy that ultimately boosts everyone's standard of living.An Accurate Census Count is Imperative for America. Here’s Why.
Matt Josephs, LISC SVP and head of the organization’s policy team, makes the urgent case for why a fair and accurate census count is so important for the health and wellbeing of our communities. Anything short of that undermines equity and thwarts our democratic process. Every one of us, he writes, has a role to play in making sure the census is successful.
