Event Description

Join us for an analysis of Connecticut's future through the prism of geography, race, and opportunity.

FEATURED SPEAKER:

DAVID RUSK
"David Rusk is the hottest urban expert in the nation today," the Baltimore Sun commented in reviewing Baltimore Unbound. Cities without Suburbs, the Congressional Quarterly wrote, has virtually become the Bible of the regionalism movement." The Government Finance Review called Rusk's most recent book, Inside Game/Outside Game, "a must-read for all practicing local government officials, elected or appointed, working in a metropolitan area."
Rusk combines strong analytical skills with practical political experience. He is a former federal official, New Mexico legislator (1975-77) and mayor of Albuquerque (1977-81).
Rusk will address how an opportunity analysis can guide Connecticut to a more prosperous and equitable future.

Participating Organizations:
Connecticut Early Childhood Alliance
Connecticut Fair Housing Center

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.
