Housing is an essential tool for upward mobility, giving families a strong foundation to achieve many other goals including education, health, and recreation. There are several aspects to housing for upward mobility particularly for communities of color including quality, affordability, stability, asset-building, and neighborhood context. Join us this month to talk about housing policies and initiatives to address these aspects in Rockford and Evanston with Kimberly Richardson, Deputy City Manager for the City of Evanston, and Keri Asevedo, Executive Director of the Rockford Area Habitat for Humanity.

This session is part of the Real Talk & Big Ideas 21-22 Series hosted by the Center for Nonprofit and NGO Studies at NIU. 

This is a free virtual event being held via Zoom and is open to all.
