Partners across the nation have found an untapped resource of land: churches. Vitalyst has been working with churches as part of an evolution of its school districts and housing work. LISC has been working with the Department of Housing and Urban Development to provide information and tools to support faith-based organizations as they explore housing development. In this episode, we will explore how these two initiatives intersect and what opportunities are available.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week's episode and herstory really hit close to home. We recorded this interview on Ghana's Independence Day (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJ9ZcXEXOh0), March 6th--or 6th March as we say in Ghana. And while days like this are meant to be celebrations of freedom and recognition of the work and struggles that went into the founding of the republic, my enthusiasm was half-hearted. If Africa, Africans and all people of the African Diaspora are honest with ourselves we have to accept that decolonization is an unfinished job. There is work to do. I, like my guest this week accept it and for me, I am reminded and empowered to ramp up the why of Glocal Citizens and my passion for manifesting a new world. My guest, Brooklyn sistren, and neighbor, Valerie White is as committed and has shown this commitment in a 30+ year career dedicated to economic and social empowerment across the public, private and nonprofit sectors. Valerie is currently Senior Executive Director of LISC (Local Initiatives Support Corporation) NY (https://www.lisc.org/ny/) where she is responsible for leading the expansion strategy promoting LISC's statewide efforts to create an economic and community development ecosystem addressing deep-rooted systemic inequities. She is also broadening her scope of impact knowledge sharing with groups such as United Cities and Local Governments of Africa (UCLG Africa) (https://www.uclga.org). Where to find Valerie?

In today's episode, we're tackling an issue that touches millions of lives: student loan debt. This topic is particularly significant in the Black community, where student loans often represent the highest form of debt. Our conversation is sparked by insights from last week's discussion on budgeting—or as we like to call it, spending plans—and the overarching impact of debt.We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Melissa Chester, a figure of immense knowledge and experience, to dive into this conversation. Dr. Chester, the current chapter president of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB), is not only a broker and owner of Red Phoenix Realty in Jackson, Florida, but also the proprietor of a real estate school and the director of economic development at LISC, a nonprofit organization. Her extensive background is further enriched by 15 years as a professor at the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU), a prestigious HBCU and the National Black Champions of 2023.Join us as we explore the complex landscape of student loans, the importance of college education, and their implications on the Black community. With Dr. Chester's unique perspective—combining real estate, economic development, and educational leadership—we aim to uncover strategies to manage student loan debt and discuss the broader impact of education on financial wellbeing.Resources:Learn more at The Color of Moneythecenter1foundation.org/dr-melissa-noland-chesterBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayProduced by NOVA MediaThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

In this episode of Capital for Good we speak with Shaun Donovan, one of the country's most important leaders — and lifelong advocates — for housing, economic development, and shared prosperity. Donovan has worked at the highest levels of government — as Secretary of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development and Director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Obama and as Commissioner of the Department of Housing Preservation and Development in New York City — overseeing large scale public-private partnerships. Today he approaches that work from Enterprise, where he leads the nation's only nonprofit that brings together in one place housing solutions, capital, and community development. We begin with some of Donovan's formative personal and professional experiences that motivated his lifelong commitment to housing. Growing up in New York City during a time of crises, with high levels of street homelessness and neighborhoods across the city severely challenged, Donovan was drawn to work at community-based organizations focused on homelessness, rebuilding communities, and financing community revitalization.  We discuss how these experiences would inform his years in government, and his understanding of the role of the public sector. “I am a deep believer in the power of government and the need for a strong government role in the service of the public good,” Donovan says. He notes that, in particular, government can make foundational investments in things like infrastructure or basic scientific research that lay the groundwork for much broader economic prosperity, and can set the “rules of the road,” for commercial market players. He also underscores the importance of cross sector partnerships: Government can scale innovations tested by the nonprofit and private sectors or shape policy that responds to community-based movement building. Donovan's forty-year commitment to housing is rooted in the sector's “unique” role in people's lives — where people live and their quality of housing — affects larger opportunities and well-being: schooling, health, safety, and employment. Housing has also become the most expensive thing in most people's lives: more than half of US renters spend over 30 percent of income on rent, closer to 50 percent for lower income Americans. We discuss how today's affordability crisis has led to record levels of street homelessness, overcrowding, evictions, and instability in communities across the United States — the worst Donovan has seen in his lifetime. The high cost of housing also prevents individuals and families from moving to higher paying jobs; limited economic mobility in turn exacerbates economic and political segregation and polarization. Despite these challenges, Donovan is encouraged by important developments at the national, state, and local level. We discuss what he calls the “New New Deal:” the trillions of dollars the federal government has deployed to infrastructure and climate (via the Inflation Reduction Act), political momentum at the state level to increase the supply of affordable housing, and a wellspring of housing innovation in communities across the US. At Enterprise, Donovan and colleagues take on all of these issues, with a particular focus on racial equity and building resilience and upward mobility. Founded forty years ago, Enterprise today invests approximately $10 billion a year into communities ($64 billion cumulatively to build or preserve 950,000 homes), owns and manages 13,000 affordable homes, and is the country's largest housing policy and advocacy organization. All of these activities involve partnerships. For example, Enterprise has recently joined forces with LISC, Habitat for Humanity, the United Way, and Rewiring America to apply for $9.5 billion from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund to work with 156 communities across the country to decarbonize affordable housing, invest in resilience, and ensure an equitable low carbon transition. Enterprise also oversees a variety of innovation challenges to support effective housing solutions developed by community-based organizations across the United States. “We have solutions, we know what works,” Donovan says. “I think this is the moment, potentially, when we come together… to build a national movement to make housing a critical part of how we support families in this country.” Thanks for Listening!

The chilling case of Rex Heuermann, the man suspected of being the Long Island serial killer, notably known as the Gilgo beach murderer, took center stage in a recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers." Host Tony Brueski, in discussion with former FBI Special Agent and Hidden Killers Daily Contributor Jennifer Coffindaffer, delved deep into the intricate details of the investigation spanning multiple jurisdictions, states, and years.   Brueski initiated the conversation by mentioning a peculiar and disturbing detail related to Heuermann: "The strange guy down the road that has creepy dolls in his house." Alluding to a particularly eerie discovery made at the suspect's residence, Brueski expressed his apprehension, "I'd still wanna know what that's going to be, if anything, when it comes to this trial. I got bad feelings about that doll."   However, the central focus of the discussion was the overarching challenge posed by the vastness of the investigation, spread across different states and timelines. Brueski inquired, "How difficult is that from an investigative standpoint to get everybody on the same page and sharing information over such a long period of time?"   Coffindaffer elucidated the difficulties, emphasizing the distinction between cases managed exclusively by the FBI versus those that involve multiple local and state agencies. "It's a big hurdle, Tony," she affirmed. "When the bureau is in charge of something, you have one bureaucracy. But when you have dozens, potentially, of law enforcement agencies... each jurisdiction has their own level of prioritization." The challenge gets amplified, especially when investigators from different precincts have varying caseloads and methods of handling evidence.   However, Coffindaffer noted that the high-profile nature of the Heuermann case would likely galvanize various jurisdictions to collaborate effectively, given the intense public and media scrutiny. "It's going to be very interesting. It is obviously a big publicized case, and I think that's going to help motivate these jurisdictions to get these cases solved," she stated.   Brueski then raised a pivotal question regarding Heuermann's trial, questioning whether there would be multiple trials or if authorities would wait until investigations across states concluded. Coffindaffer's response provided clarity: "I think what we'll see is what we call a superseding indictment. That will happen once they have the evidence put together on Gilgo four." This essentially means that once additional evidence is pieced together linking Heuermann to further crimes, the charges against him would be updated, effectively resetting the legal clock.   Drawing attention to the intensive nature of the investigations, she elaborated, "Recall they have 12, 13 days of investigation at his house... We have the DNA profile that might link him to other LISC killings."   In terms of a timeline for Heuermann's trial, Coffindaffer estimated, "I think we're looking way out to the origin of your question, a year, two years. But they will not wait until South Carolina, Nevada, and other states conduct their investigations."   With the spotlight on the Long Island killings, it seems investigators are determined to connect the dots, provide justice to the victims, and ensure Heuermann faces the consequences if found guilty. The case, with its multi-state implications and gruesome revelations, continues to hold the public's attention and is a testament to the complexities of modern-day criminal investigations.

What is an Office of Rural Prosperity? Both Kansas and Wisconsin have them, and on this episode we talk with the two women charged with running them: Beth Haskovec, from Wisconsin, and Trisha Purdon, of Kansas. Statewide Offices of Rural Prosperity are dedicated to ensuring rural stakeholders are part of the equation, across policy, capital, resource management — and that rural people and places are connected to those programs and pathways that contribute to community prosperity. About our guests Beth Haskovec is the Director for the Office of Rural Prosperity within the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC). In this role, Beth works to advance rural Wisconsin through interagency collaboration and resource navigation. Priorities of the Office include broadband access & accessibility, rural housing, ecosystem building at the local and regional levels, small business & entrepreneurship, and promoting rural culture through placemaking and tourism. Beth comes to the Office of Rural Prosperity from LISC, one of the nation's largest CDFIs, where she oversaw strategies and programs related to access to capital for small businesses across Rural America, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. She brings a wealth of expertise in commercial real estate development, commercial corridor development, small business capital, entrepreneurship and initiatives at the intersection of arts and culture and economic development. Originally, Beth is from a one stop light county in rural Iowa. She brings this passion for rural communities and culture to her role as the Director of Rural Prosperity. Trisha Purdon is the Director of the Office of Rural Prosperity in the Kansas Department of Commerce. She attended the University of Kansas where she earned a master's degree in Public Administration with a focus on local government Management and a Bachelor's degree in Social Welfare with a focus on public policy.

Founded in 1979, The Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) is a non-profit organization that has played a pivotal role in growing community development initiatives across the country for over three decades. Joining us today to discuss LISC's work, community advocacy, systemic inequities, and more, is Senior Executive Director at LISC NY Valerie White. We kick off Part I of our conversation with Valerie by talking about her upbringing and how her parents inspired her to become involved with advocacy work and public service. She goes on to describe her time at New York Housing Authority (NYCHA) and reflects on how it shaped her outlook as well as the important work the organization has done for marginalized communities.

In this episode of the Knowledge to Action series, host Jen Whitelaw welcomes Ricardo Flores, Executive Director of Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) San Diego. Ricardo talks about the complex work LISC does throughout its extensive network of investment-based collaborations that support San Diego's underserved neighborhoods. He discusses how LISC stands behind its mission in many ways, including training community development professionals, and gives actionable information about how listeners can take advantage of LISC's opportunities and funding.   Timestamps: [2:07] LISC is a nonprofit community development financial institution, or CDFI. It provides loans for development and redevelopment. Ricardo discusses why LISC is so successful. [3:44] Ricardo talks about LISC's reconciliation by going back to the roots from which it came, working more intently with groups like Urban League and the NAACP. [4:09] What is the mission of LISC? How does LISC work with residents and partners to forge resilient and inclusive communities, and what exactly do we mean by a “resilient community”?  [7:23] Part of that resilience is being able to have access to philanthropic donors, to individuals outside of your community, to be able to tell a story of why your community is so important and why it should be invested in. [8:00] Are these needy areas truly getting the support they need? [13:24] Adding LISC's lens to Lloyd Ruocco's question: how do we create cities that are fit to live in? [14:06] Ricardo talks about the program LISC has launched with the San Diego Foundation called the San Diego Black Homebuyer Program. [19:19] As we think about issues of zoning, affordable housing, and “preserving neighborhood character,” how often are today's prevailing policy and language resonant with the ones we've witnessed in redlining maps? [26:56] Ricardo talks about how LISC trains its people and helps bring in volunteers for community development organizations. [27:53] How does one go about getting funding through LISC?   About C-3 In its 60 years of existence, Citizens Coordinate for Century 3 (C-3) has brought together local thought leaders from planning, design, policy, academia, community development, and more to address our region's distinctive and pressing land use challenges. In founding C-3 almost 60 years ago, architect Lloyd Ruocco's vision was to bring together our region's most creative minds from the arts, sciences, academia, and government to share ideas, learn new perspectives, and build fellowship around the idea of creating livable communities.   Opportunities for Advocacy and Engagement: C3sandiego.org LISC San Diego Black Homebuyers Program Ricardo Flores

According to an APA 2022 Stress in America Survey, 87% of respondents listed inflation as a source of significant stress—and the researchers say no other issue has caused this much stress since the survey's launch. Money anxiety or "financial fear" is common, and to an extent, it can be healthy. If fear about inflation and running out of money prevents you from blowing every dollar on fast casual dining, and instead urges you to save and invest for the future, that fear directly benefits Future You. But if fear prevents you from investing in the stock market because it feels too risky, well…now we're letting misplaced, data-refuted concerns interfere with our ability to build wealth over time. Understanding your own deeply held beliefs and fears about money can help unlock your next-best step, and it's not one-size-fits-all. We're joined by Mariel Beasley, Principal at the Center for Advanced Hindsight at Duke University and Co-Founder of the Common Cents Lab (https://advanced-hindsight.com/commoncents-lab/) to discuss financial psychology and what behaviors we can unlearn (or double down on) when it comes to money anxiety. — Mentioned in the Episode Download the free Money Management Routine resource: https://education.morningbrew.com/budget Farnoosh Torabi's So Money: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1348-how-fear-can-drive-financial-excellence-with/id955939085?i=1000558577525 The importance of an abundance mindset: https://moneywithkatie.com/blog/shifting-your-money-mindset-from-scarcity-to-abundance "Risk is what you don't plan for": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LM-s_HxLzNY ChooseFI: https://www.choosefi.com/listen/choose-fi-podcast/ Why Hitting "Half FI" is More Like 75%: https://moneywithkatie.com/blog/why-hitting-half-fi-is-more-like-75 Financial resources mentioned: LISC, Digit, Qapital — Follow Along - Listen to Money with Katie here: https://www.podpage.com/money-with-katie-show/ - Read Money with Katie: https://moneywithkatie.com/ Follow Money with Katie! - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moneywithkatie/ - Twitter: https://twitter.com/moneywithkatie - TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@moneywithkatie   Subscribe to Morning Brew - Sign up for free today: https://bit.ly/morningbrewyt Follow The Brew! - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/morningbrew/ - Twitter: https://twitter.com/MorningBrew - TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@morningbrew

This week, she shared with us how things have been going and what she's thinking about.“My name is Brook LaFloe. My family comes from the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa in North Dakota, but I mostly grew up here in the Twin Cities. Right now, in this moment, I'm feeling good. I'm beading right now. You know, I took a nap earlier. So I'm just in like a very zen mood, I guess you could say right now,” said Brook.Brook said there have been many transitions for her family, some of which have been challenging…“My mom's montessori closed four times, tried to stay open, you know, during the pandemic. Closed four times. I myself have been also working at a shelter on the weekends.….and some transitions have been good,” said Brook.“I left my full time work to actually start my social enterprise and that was like at the beginning of the pandemic.…It's called Niniijanis One of Ones. It's a social enterprise for Indigenous children. Our goal is to tackle educational opportunities in early childhood for American Indian children, specifically birth through six. So I'm trained in the Montessori method and a lot of that work has been indigenizing the Montessori method and making the curriculum more culturally relevant and appropriate for Native kids,” said Brook.Brook's business started out as a grant-funded community project giving away free educational and cultural materials in its pilot year. It has now grown into a collective of 16 artists and educators.“The need in early childhood is already pretty great, right? There's not enough early learning centers or Head Starts to meet the amount of young kids there are in certain places, especially here in the Cities. But then when the pandemic hit and some centers were starting to close the need became exacerbated. So yeah, I was like we have these materials and these are the things that can leave classrooms and go home, right?” she said.“The pow wow mobile is probably the most popular item for babies, but the cultural teaching of it is like, beyond the baby period. So the pow wow mobile has four of our pow wow dancers on there, and they like spin and dance in a circle. And it's really attractive for like infants who are learning to see. But the cultural component, like, you know, one day that infant will enter the powwow circle if they go dance themselves, right. And like, they'll do that with their kid maybe and their parents. And so there's a lot more teachings than like the developmental purpose for each item,” said Brook.During the pandemic, Brook received a Finnovation fellowship and LISC grant that helped develop business infrastructure. She has since fundraised enough to buy a bus for mobile services. “Our first powwow for the St. Paul Indian Education Program is this weekend. It's our first one since probably the pandemic. So that's, like, cool that like small ones are coming back and big ones too, I would say. So that's what I'm looking forward to in the short term. What I'm definitely looking forward to getting that bus and operations …Because my business is not like a billion-dollar business or anything like that. All profits I pretty much give away, but I think when the bus comes, I can take care of my business, and my business could take care of me. So yeah, I'm looking forward to reaching that point,” said Brook.Miigwetch to Brook LaFloe for sharing with us.
