Actionable Strategies for Equitable Development Planning
Tuesday, September 15, 2020 | 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. EST
Webinar
Capital is a tool to advance a larger strategic vision for community development, however, targeted and intentional planning is required to prevent the displacement of long-term community members and ensure the needs of vulnerable residents are addressed. Equitable development plans ensure equity and inclusion are core principles in the planning process and proposed strategies reflect community priorities that safeguard local culture and affordability.
This webinar will feature profiles of three CDFI collaboratives who completed planning processes rooted in equity to ensure capital reaches the most vulnerable communities and achieves the greatest impact.
- Baton Rouge will explore the need to root efforts in historical context,
- Dallas will share how community based participatory research can be utilized, and
- South Florida will discuss how incorporating disaster resiliency strategies can promote equitable outcomes.
The speakers will also share challenges involved in preparing equitable development plans and how they overcame those challenges to empower residents and lay a solid foundation for future investment.
