Join us at the next Ownership Matters series on Thurs, Jan 25th for a discussion on Ownership's Role in Addressing Social Inequities. Ownership is often a precursor to wealth, yet wealth is unevenly distributed. What are the barriers to ownership that exist for certain groups and how can a focus on community ownership help address long-standing social inequities? Panel speakers will share approaches that intentionally disburse wealth and build prosperity for individuals and communities that have, and continue to be, excluded from mainstream economic benefits.

Back to the basics! We’re still relatively new around here, but if you’re just now finding us (or finding yourself requiring our services!), you might not know that these terms can be used interchangeably to describe the same alternative to traditional homeownership. These neighborhoods are characterized by common areas, mandatory membership, shared costs, governing documents and elected boards of volunteer homeowners who take responsibility for them. Our job is to support boards by managing these community associations. Or HOAs. You get the idea💙#HOALife #Community #WeAreHOALiving

Community engagement is not a window-dressing, check the box phase. It should be mutually respectful with a duty of care- to do better, to promote community capacity and empowerment in crisis. Siloing engagement across ministries is confusing and disrespectful of the lived experiences in community. Without having meaningful, transparent, comprehensive and timely after action reporting from 2023 defeats the process of engagement for the future. Without intentional engagement for healing from last year- these sessions are meaningless unless of course to check a box. https://lnkd.in/guNA-d5u

The most effective solutions for addressing community harm often come from the residents and organizations within the community. However, decades of community disinvestment have resulted in limited access to the capital and resources required to support the programs that community experts suggest. Hence, the birth of ICJIA's Institute to Innovate (i2i). Executive Director Delrice Adams (#JusticeWarrior) views i2i as a social work approach involving intensive engagement. i2i focuses on supporting hyper-local grassroots organizations with little to no prior experience with grant funding and needs more infrastructure or back office to implement programs successfully. Like the work of #JusticeWarriors in Pennsylvania, i2i is a community-centered initiative. https://i2i.illinois.gov/ ##throwback #thursday
