Connecticut’s Path to Equity Workshops

We need your help! Earlier this year, we published Connecticut’s Path to Equity – a draft framework of state-level policy changes to promote health equity in Connecticut. While this draft included feedback from partners and a survey, HES wants to be sure the next version reflects even more Connecticut residents’ priorities for achieving health equity.

Why did HES create this framework? Health equity is complex AND achievable. The Path to Equity lays out the concrete, feasible steps our state can take to achieve equity. This will allow us (advocates, residents, policymakers…everyone!) to work together towards a set of shared goals.

How can you get involved?

  • SHARE your ideas and experiences about what is required to get to health equity
  • LEARN from other participants about their goals and experiences
  • CO-CREATE a shared framework for advocacy

Please register below for the date and time that works best for you:

Workshops will last approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes long and are open to community members and partner organizations. Each session will have a maximum of 20 people. Community members attending on their own time will be thanked with a $20 gift card.

Ways to stay engaged:

Stay tuned for more opportunities to get engaged in health equity work! A series of community conversations is coming soon.

For more information or to arrange a conversation with your organization, please contact hwebley@hesct.org

Where Do Workers Living on Low Incomes Stand in the Post-Pandemic Economy?

An article in Politico looks at the gains and losses—actual and potential—for lower-wage workers in the current economic climate. Katrin Kark, LISC’s director of workforce innovations, who is quoted in the piece, cautions that increased wages don’t suffice to stabilize finances or create economic mobility across the board. “Higher entry wages alone aren’t enough to close…opportunity gaps,” she says.

CDFIs + Impact Investors: New Capital Markets Analysis Highlights Opportunities and Impact

LISC and Enterprise Community Partners have released a joint white paper that catalogs how CDFIs have engaged with the capital markets in recent years. In an accompanying blog, the authors explain why this data is so critical, as economic pressure affects the availability and cost of capital for high-impact community development efforts. "The goal is to help impact investors identify how and where they might put their capital to work and what expectations they should have for performance,” they write.
