Amy shares practical lessons from Fairfax County, including longer search times, market aligned payment standards, and geography based strategies.She also breaks down how Moving to Work flexibility fuels housing production, employer partnerships, and faster development. The discussion covers funding stability, regulatory friction, and why housing policy drives economic stability for entire communities.As President of the National Leased Housing Association, Amy offers a clear view of national priorities, bipartisan reform efforts, and the future of voucher and subsidy programs.The episode closes with direct myth busting around housing authorities and voucher participants, grounded in data and lived experience.

Have you ever considered why the experience of being a dad can look radically different across cultures and communities?  In our 2025 holiday episode, we're honored to welcome Dr. Alvin Thomas—associate professor, mentor, thought leader, award-winning podcast host, and an internationally respected researcher in human development and family studies. Dr. Thomas has devoted his career to supporting Black fathers, families, and children, and advancing anti-racism efforts, and in our conversation he opens up about anti-racism, modern masculinity, and our responsibility as parents to raise empathetic, informed, and resilient kids.Topics include:• Exploring the broad definition of fatherhood—including mentorship, community care, and “cosmic children”—beyond biological ties.• Dr. Thomas's anti-racism work and what it means to create spaces for Black children and families to thrive authentically.• The challenges and responsibilities of teaching kids about racism, empathy, and dualities in the world, especially as white parents in predominantly white communities.• Storytelling, mentorship, and the creation of The Black Fathers' Pulse podcast as tools for sharing research, building community, and supporting fathers.• Modern masculinity, vulnerability, and the evolving expectations of men and fathers in society—and how culture and the internet can impact those roles.• The importance of supportive spaces for men, breaking generational cycles, and building resilient, healthy family ecosystems.• And more!LINKSDr. Alvin Thomas (homepage)Dr Alvin Thomas (LinkedIn)Dr. Alvin Thomas (YouTube)Dr. Alvin Thomas (Instagram)Dr. Alvin Thomas (X)The Black Fathers' Pulse Podcast (Apple)Caspar BabypantsSpencer AlbeeModern Dadhood (website)AdamFlaherty.tvStuffed Animal (Marc's kids' music)MD (Instagram)MD (Facebook)MD (YouTube)MD (TikTok) Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Modern Dadhood listeners!

In der letzten Episode in diesem Jahr öffnen wir einen besonderen Kleiderschrank, einen, der ein Stück deutsche Filmgeschichte erzählt. Bei uns zu Gast ist Pheline Roggan. Die Schauspielerin („Soul Kitchen“, „Jerks“) und Mitbegründerin von changemakers.film kauft gern ihre Kostüme nach den Drehs ab, damit sie nicht auf dem Müll landen oder in Vergessenheit geraten. Das bedeutet: Neben ihren eigenen Lieblingsstücken hängen in ihrem Schrank auch Teile aus der Erfolgsserie „Jerks“ und vielen anderen Produktionen. Doch was passiert eigentlich, wenn eine Hose, die mal mitten im Chaos, Drama oder Humor eine Rolle gespielt hat, plötzlich Alltag wird? Wie verwandelt sich Filmkostüm in Pheline-Style? Genau darüber sprechen wir mit ihr — und darüber, wie Nachhaltigkeit am Set gelebt werden kann, wie Pheline ihre Klimaangst bekämpft hat und was es mit ihrem bekanntesten Berlinale-Look auf sich hat.

TVC 718.5: Stefanie Powers talks to Ed about why her experience as a contract player at Columbia Pictures at the start of her career was like "a finishing school for actors"; working with Ava Gardner on Maggie (CBS, 1986), a pilot for a series that marked Gardner's final screen appearance (the pilot, however, never aired); and why James Garner ranks alongside Robert Wagner as among Stefanie's favorite co-stars. (Stefanie starred opposite Garner in "The Red Easy Red Dog," a second-season episode of The Rockford Files.) Stefanie Powers will reunite with McLintock! co-star Patrick Wayne for the first time in sixty years for a one-performance-only benefit production of A.R. Gurney's Love Letters that will take place on Sunday, Jan. 11 on the Debbie Reynolds Main Stage at the historic El Portal Theatre in North Hollywood, CA beginning at 1pm. Proceeds will support the efforts of the William Holden Wildlife Foundation. For tickets and more information, call (818) 508-4200 or go to ElPortalTheatre.com. Stefanie Powers is also featured in Vision for the Future: Capturing Inspiring Stories from Leaders and Changemakers, a recently released anthology eBook that profiles twenty-five visionaries who not only are making a significant impact in their respective fields, but are dedicated to making the world a better place through hope, action, and lasting change. Vision for the Future recognizes Stefanie for her work with The William Holden Wildlife Foundation. Vision for the Future is available for free at visionforthefuture.ai.

For many survivors of human trafficking, support often ends too soon. With limited resources and systems that fail to provide long-term care, many are thrown out of the system — left without proper trauma support or recognition beyond their stories. Mother, activist, and human trafficking survivor Malaika Oringo is determined to change that. As the founder of Footprint to Freedom, a survivor-led non-profit dedicated to empowering and reintegrating trafficking survivors, she advocates for survivor voices to be at the heart of policymaking and government action.In a conversation with UN News, Ms. Oringo reflects on her personal journey — how she overcame trauma, reclaimed her voice, and continues to inspire change through her tireless advocacy. Charlotte Frantz began by asking her what drives the trafficking of people.

Affordable housing is no longer a coastal issue or a niche policy topic. It touches every community, every income bracket, and every generation. In this episode of ChangeMakers, Katie Goar speaks with Dennis Shea, Executive Director of the J. Ronald Terwilliger Center for Housing Policy, about why housing affordability has shifted from a “silent crisis” to a national priority. Dennis shares how growing up in a modest New York City home shaped his understanding of place, stability, and opportunity. He breaks down the data connecting housing to health, academic success, labor mobility, and economic growth. He also explains why bipartisan momentum is finally emerging, from federal legislation like the Road to Housing Act, to state-level zoning reforms, to employers stepping in to support their workforce. Katie and Dennis dig into the most promising ideas on the table, including supply expansion, preservation of existing homes, voucher improvements, zoning updates, and targeted deregulation. They also talk about what real collaboration looks like at the local level and how communities can build common ground when resistance to new housing arises. If you care about the future of affordable housing, workforce mobility, or community development, this conversation gives you a clear and hopeful view of where progress is happening now.

Eveline Shen, an award-winning leadership and social change strategist, is the principal at Leading Courageously, a for-profit company where she teaches her "Courageous Operating System" to help leaders of color face their challenges with courage, confidence, and strength. Previously, she spent 22 years as the executive director of Forward Together, building it into one of the country's largest multi-issue organizations led by women of color. Eveline, who goes by "Ev," helps leaders rewire the limiting patterns that hold them back — including perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and people-pleasing — and replace them with what she calls "courageous" actions. She is the author of Choosing to Lead Against the Current: The Courageous Operating System for Changemakers. Her target audience — both at Leading Courageously and for her book — is primarily mission-driven individuals and groups advocating for social change, many of whom instinctively view business leaders and entrepreneurs not as partners, but as adversaries. Yet, many of the core elements of Ev's "courageous operating system" apply universally, whether you're in the nonprofit or the for-profit world. Moreover, listeners to this episode will likely discover they have more in common with Ev and her followers than they imagined. Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

"Bring people onto your team that might have skill sets that you don't have, that complement the overall team. Bring them along with you.

When Zohran Mamdani voted in the New York Mayoral election last week he told the press that he followed the Working Families Party ticket. Who is the Working FamiliesParty?

This episode was recorded in the wake of the Movement for Black Lives protests, but he also explains the origins of Working Families and their urban origins in community organising movements like ACORN in the US.There is a long story behind one of the many strands emerging in resistance politics in the US.For more on ChangeMakers check us out:Via our Website - https://changemakerspodcast.org (where you can also sign up to our email list!)On Facebook, Instagram, Threads - https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMakersPodcast/Blue Sky Social - changemakerspod.bsky.aocial & amandatattersall.bsky.socialOn X/Twitter - @changemakers99 or @amandatattsOn LinkedIn - Amanda.Tattersall Hosted on Acast.

In this donor-focused, data-packed episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D. is joined by Jon Bergdoll, Interim Director of Data and Research Partnerships at Indiana University's Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, to break down the latest findings from the 2023 Bank of America Study of High Net-Worth Philanthropy. Now in its 20th year, the report offers a close-up on the giving habits of households with $1M+ in investable assets or incomes over $200,000. The numbers tell a nuanced story. While total dollars donated by high-net-worth households remain strong, the percentage of those households giving annually is slipping, a continuation of the “donors down, dollars up” trend seen in the broader population. Volunteering, meanwhile, is bouncing back post-pandemic, now at 43% (up from a 2020 low of 30%) but still below pre-2020 levels. These donors continue to prioritize religion, education, and human services, and they're increasingly aligning their financial choices, spending and giving alike, with their values. Local impact matters. Over 70% of high-net-worth donors report giving to causes in their own communities, compared to 32% giving nationally and just 13% internationally. Spontaneity still plays a role, roughly 85% of donors say they sometimes or always give when asked or in response to emerging needs, but effectiveness is key. Donors want to know their gifts are making a difference. Use of giving vehicles like donor-advised funds, private foundations, and IRA distributions is slowly rising, with nearly 1 in 5 affluent households now leveraging at least one structured giving mechanism. This year's report also introduces five philanthropic identities: Steadfast Supporters, Devout Donors, Entrepreneurs, Changemakers, and Philanthropic Experts. These profiles offer fundraisers a practical way to understand donor motivations and tailor outreach accordingly.
