5/28 In Community: Expanding Equity

Expanding Equity | May 28, 2024 | Trinity Commons

No housing is affordable or secure without a good job and access to economic opportunities.

Yet, as New York City develops and grows, our longstanding barriers and inequalities to homes, jobs, and small businesses for our low- and moderate-income New Yorkers, people of color, immigrants, and other marginalized populations persist. We have an opportunity to bridge the longstanding equity gaps we see in our neighborhoods and communities. 

During our in-community conversation on Expanding Equity, we heard from Janis Bowdler, Counselor for Racial Equity, who discussed how the US Treasury is rethinking and introducing programs and policies that advance economic equity for communities of color and address the disparities in wealth and financial security.

The program was followed by a panel discussion with Anisha Steephen, Senior Advisor, U.S. Treasury, Sarah Salem, Director of Community Engagement for the Thriving Communities Technical Assistance, WE ACT for Environmental Justice, and Elizabeth Zeldin, Director, Enterprise Community Partners, Inc., moderated by Barika X. Williams, Executive Director, ANHD.
