We have recently brought together a dynamic group of investors for an incredible initiative called Reimagining Opportunities for Investment (ROI) in the South. The focus: creating a sustainable investment ecosystem for undercapitalized communities of color in the Deep South. 📍 A special stop on this journey was the vibrant city of New Orleans, rich in history and culture. Investors delved into its unique blend of African, Native American, Latinx, Asian American and European influences, understanding the need for a collaborative approach to avoid repeating historical disparities. New Orleans is not just a city; it's a hub of entrepreneurial talent and opportunity. However, it faces lingering inequalities. While businesses owned by people of color are on the rise, they receive only 2% of the city's receipts. This inequity underscores the urgent need for collaborative and inclusive investments. The ROI in the South session highlighted key insights from local leaders like Christy Slater, Lamar Gardere and Judy Reese Morse. Their perspectives emphasized the necessity of inclusive economies and nurturing entrepreneurs of color. Looking ahead, ROI in the South will explore sectors like reentry and agriculture, offering more avenues for transformative investments. Key takeaways for investors include the importance of playing the long game, leveraging community strengths and fostering inclusive growth.

Population health and wellbeing depends on equitable community conditions such as a healthy local economy. Where all residents, especially those historically denied opportunities for wealth creation, can participate fully. Growing racial, geographic, and class inequalities within the U.S. economy beg the question: are common #economicdevelopment policies/practices working? Robert Wood Johnson Foundation partnered with Lincoln Institute of Land Policy to examine commonly held beliefs and explore alternatives that could improve quality of life and social conditions at the local level. #healthequity #communitydevelopment #healthycommunities #racialequity #socialdeterminantsofhealth

Rural isn’t a place to leave – it’s where swaths of diverse populations come and thrive. It’s where traditions are passed down from generation to generation, perseverance and dedication are valued above all, and a sense of community runs deep. Across American history, rural communities have led nationwide policy changes that improved lives around the country. Today, these rural communities stand ready to innovate once again.

What do communities and neighborhoods lose when housing is unaffordable? That was the question at the heart of the National Building Museum’s Housing Affordability Summit, which MiTek was proud to support. Population growth, natural disasters, and housing crises increasingly threaten our world’s capacity to shelter all of humanity. As part of our community impact strategy, MiTek is committed to helping people attain safe, affordable, and equitable housing and community spaces for all. MiTek’s own Rachel Seward, SVP, Corporate Communications & CSR, experienced the summit firsthand: “We heard from panel after brilliant panel unflinchingly unpack the most intractable problems facing this sector and offering innovative ideas to overcome them. One thing was abundantly clear: no one can do this alone. But working together, we just might be able to build a more equitable, sustainable future for the historically disenfranchised, our growing population of older adults, and anyone looking for a community that truly meets their needs.” We look forward to continuing the conversation about how collaborative action can reimagine and build a collective, thriving future.   #TransformingGlobalCommunities #AffordableHousing #FutureCities #Sustainability #ClimateWeek #HousingInnovation

I see hope in small cities filled with brave councils who prioritise life before profit and dare to put radical innovation to the test. The last century has been one with an enormous focus on global scale - global production, global profits, global solutions and global social media. The scale of possibilities, dreams, fear, dangers and crises is so vast that it’s easy to feel completely overwhelmed as a normal human being just trying to cope with everyday life. However, during the last few years I’ve seen hopeful actions from small scale municipalities who don’t shy away from putting the safety of future generations before short term profit and traditional mindsets. Instead of following the global or national mainstream pathways they’ve paved the way for brave decision makers to get some slack and challenge norms. Follow link for full article.
