Event Description

For two decades, Tonier “Neen” Cain hustled on the streets, racking up 66 convictions along the way. In 2004, pregnant and incarcerated, Ms. Cain was given an opportunity to go to a community trauma, mental health and addictions program. There, somebody asked her: what happened to you?

For the first time Ms. Cain confronted haunting childhood memories. Learning she had been a victim, she began to heal, to reclaim power over her life, and thus embarked on a remarkable journey.

Today, Tonier Cain works for the National Center for Trauma-Informed Care, dedicating her life to illustrating the consequences of untreated trauma and empowering those still lost and silent.

Dr. Kathryn Bocanegra and Dr. Shani Buggs, eminent researchers and experts on the work of community violence intervention, have published, together with LISC, Supporting the Frontline Through Community Healing: Advancing Science on Violence Intervention Outreach and Trauma Exposure. The study, focused on safety efforts in Kansas City, MO, is a deeply researched and compassionate look at the trauma CVI workers confront every day and how to support the field so that practitioners “are protected from the same harms they work to prevent.”

“A Gateway for Possibilities”: Resident Leadership and Community Ownership

LISC's Institute for Community Power has published a new Spotlight examining three leadership development programs designed and implemented by LISC and local partners for distinct communities in different parts of the country: Training the Trainers (T4T) in Houston; the Newark Resident Leadership Academy (NRLA); and Community Connectors in Philadelphia. Each group has leveraged the leadership program to inform and strengthen their work and, in turn, to serve their communities more effectively.

Mobile Home Residents in Washington State Are Calling the Shots After Buying Their Park

As a result, they have been able to stabilize their housing costs, upgrade their communities and remain in the places they love.
