Video Series Premiere, Upcoming Webinar
** GSN Virtual Interview Series
------------------------------------------------------------
Grounded Solutions Network recently contacted our member organizations and national racial justice thought leaders to solicit their perspectives on impacts of COVID-19 for communities of color, how lasting affordability addresses the social determinants of health, and the use of shared equity models to address the racial wealth gap. New videos will be released weekly. We invite you to view our opening conversation with acclaimed Brookings Institute Research Fellow ([link removed]) Andre M. Perry, author of “Know Your Price: “Valuing Black Lives and Property in America's Black Cities.”

** GSN Calls for Change
------------------------------------------------------------
Leadership in this pivotal moment requires us all to raise our voices. Grounded Solutions Board and Staff are engaged in advocacy for lasting affordability now as our path to racial equity. Shelterforce Magazine recently published two of our essays which speak to the power of our collective vision for racial justice. One piece titled: Lasting Affordability ([link removed]) Is the Path to Resilience, authored by the experts of our State and Local Policy team, outlines the local housing policies and resources to expand the scale of our work. The other titled: The Most We Can Do ([link removed]) : A National Mandate for Housing Justice, authored by our Board President and our CEO, states the case for a bold new national policy initiative supporting shared-equity programs to address inequality and exclusion in the realms of housing.
