"Thrilled to share my recent experience attending the UMW Colloquium Coffee Talks, where I had the privilege of hearing from the remarkable CEO of FailSafe, Juanita Shanks.

As someone deeply passionate about social impact and community development, her words resonated profoundly with me. #UMWColloquium #FailSafe #SocialImpact #CommunityDevelopment"

Losing your home is one of the most stressful experiences a person can have. Memphis has faced a steady increase in eviction rates since before the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Data also shows that Black and Latinx residents have been disproportionately affected by evictions compared to white residents. 🔐📈 The second strategy in the Community Development plan is to ensure a right to legal representation for renters when they are facing eviction. This intervention is expected to curb homelessness in the city, especially for households with children! #MFMStrategies #Memphis #ShelbyCountyTN #eviction #tenantrights #rentersrights
