The last year will have a lasting impact on Michigan’s communities — how can we not only recover during this pivotal moment, but use it as an opportunity to promote inclusive change? Join us for the first virtual conversation in our Summer of CEDAM policy education series, featuring speakers Rep. Sarah Anthony and Joan Nelson of Allen Neighborhood Center on June 30 at 11:30 am. We’ll discuss how robust funding for community development programs paired with a greater focus on racial equity and inclusion in state and federal COVID-19 policy responses can spur economic growth and a sustainable recovery for Michigan’s communities. 

The Summer of CEDAM is a monthly series that will spotlight our 2021-22 policy priorities: community economic development, economic inclusion, and affordable housing. These priorities were identified through stakeholder groups and member surveys, and guide our advocacy efforts, shape our coalitions, and help mobilize our partners and members. The series will feature three virtual conversations and an in-person wrap-up event to hear from legislators about the opportunities to move these community development policy priorities forward, as well as from our members who can provide insight to their work and the needs of their communities.

*AmeriCorps members may not attend these sessions on AmeriCorps time.
