In a world quick to categorize societal issues by race, it's crucial to spotlight the socio-economic divide as a primary catalyst of inequality. From health disparities to community development, wealth—or the lack thereof—plays a pivotal role. Let's engage in meaningful dialogue on how to address this widening gap and foster a more inclusive society. Gabriel D.A. Langley Stoy Hall, CFP® #SocioEconomicDivide #InclusiveGrowth

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released a 1st of its kind report on housing for survivors of trafficking. The report explores the availability of housing and services, barriers to accessing housing, best practices such as trauma-informed care and culturally specific services, and recommendations like investing in flexible funding practices. As a survivor and a lived experience expert, whose professional journey has traversed the realms of affordable housing finance, real estate development, philanthropy, and impact investing, I see this report as a call to action and a step forward. The findings underscore a reality that many of us have long understood: the imperative of bringing lived experience experts to the forefront of our strategies and solutions. Throughout my career, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative potential of investing in BIPOC-owned real estate development companies and LGBTQ+ housing developments. Philanthropy, high-net-worth individuals, and real estate moguls alike possess the resources to make a tangible difference. Let's support survivor-led housing developments, leveraging the insight and resilience of those of us who have navigated the path, to not only provide a safe space for healing but also empower survivors to lead a charge for change. This is more than an investment in bricks and mortar; it's an investment in healing, in community, and in the future. My journey from trafficking and homelessness to graduating from UC Berkeley and Harvard, and a post graduate fellowship at UPenn in urban redevelopment is a testament to what is possible. Join me in advocating for a world where every survivor has the opportunity to thrive, free from the shadows of their past, and have a safe place to call home. Let's invest in solutions that uplift and empower, ensuring that no family or child endures the horrors that too many of us have faced. We can do this. #EndTrafficking #SurvivorLedSolutions #HousingForAll #philanthropy Hispanics in Philanthropy https://lnkd.in/g8YdMXAq

In the February 2024 Housing & Health issue of Health Affairs, Kierra Barnett of Nationwide’s Children’s Hospital and her team of coauthors document the history of structural racism in Linden, a neighborhood in Columbus, Ohio. Linden is a neighborhood characterized by high rates of unemployment, crime, and disparities in maternal and infant health outcomes. The authors contextualize these disparities through an exploration of 100 years of discriminatory state and local policies, particularly those related to housing, that have shaped health in Linden, Ohio. These policies include racial deed restrictions, redlining, blockbusting, mass incarceration, and the subprime lending crisis. Barnett and coauthors advocate for structural racism- and discrimination-informed strategic community development initiatives to promote lasting change in Linden.
