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

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.
