Ahead of today’s release of Embrace Boston's 2024 Harm Report, Boston Globe Media's Tiana W. spoke with our clients - including Embrace Boston's Imari Paris Jeffries, East Boston Neighborhood Health Center's Greg Wilmot, and Children's Services of Roxbury, Inc.'s Sandra McCroom - to learn more. The report, which provides an overview of the city and state policies and practices that have historically disadvantaged Black residents of Boston and Massachusetts, serves as an ever-important reminder that while strides have been made, there is still much work to be done to create a Boston that is full of love and inclusivity. “This report hopefully puts blame not on people, but instead on processes,” Imari Paris Jeffries, President and CEO of Embrace Boston, told Tiana Woodard. “If we’ve created these processes, we can uncreate them.” Read more in The Boston Globe: https://lnkd.in/dX-34DEr

April is #SecondChanceMonth! At DFSS, we firmly believe in the transformative power of second chances. We recognize that individuals transitioning back into the community deserve not just one opportunity, but the chance to rebuild their lives and thrive. That's why DFSS is committed to funding a variety of programs and initiatives tailored to meet the unique needs of returning residents and those impacted by the justice system. Among these essential programs are our Community Reentry Support Centers, which provide vital support and resources to individuals navigating the challenges of reintegration. With approximately 11,000 individuals reentering the city of Chicago every year, the significance of our work cannot be overstated. As we embark on Second Chance Month, let's come together to acknowledge the immense potential for positive change when individuals are provided with opportunities and support. Remember, behind every success story is someone who believed in offering a chance for redemption and growth. #ReentryMatters #SecondChanceMonth2024 #DFSS #Chicago #SecondChances #CommunitySupport #TransformingLives #DFSSImpact

**GIA READER** Grantmakers in the Arts (GIA) has been advocating for policies that increase the amount of assets that people with disabilities can hold while remaining eligible for public benefits because artists with disabilities – indeed, all workers – deserve to get paid for their work and to build savings, even when circumstances – like a disability – prevent them from working a conventional fixed role or schedule. That is why GIA is supporting Sen. Chris Coons’ (D-DE) Allowing Steady Savings by Eliminating Tests Act (the ASSET Act). The ASSET Act seeks to raise the SSI asset limit, recognizing the importance of enabling individuals with disabilities to achieve financial security.
