Health Equity Through Partnerships with Community Development Corporations: The other CDC | Webinar

Presentation Slides (Slides 1-24)
Presentation Slides (Slides 25-48)

Description

The current pandemic has revealed even more deeply the health inequities that impact our communities, influenced by legacies of racial and economic segregation and disinvestment that fueled disparities in opportunity, health and well-being even before the COVID-19 crisis. The community development industry was originally founded during the civil rights movement, in response to racist “redlining”policies and discriminatory lending practices, and is responsible for investments in health clinics, affordable housing, permanent supportive housing, and more. What is the industry’s role in our current moment, and how can those working to provide for mental and behavioral health, better collaborate to address shared goals?

Objectives:

  1. Understand the role of the community development sector in supporting place-based healthcare investments and maximizing positive impact on community needs.
  2. Access practical tools to identify potential community development partners across the country and resources to advance similar successful cross-sector partnerships
