Episode 19: Urban Strategies Inc. Series Episode 4: Wealth Creation in Marginalized Communities
Update: 2023-10-23
Description
We continue our special
series focused on Urban Strategies, Inc., a national non-profit that
exemplifies the quest for urban equity and inclusion. Urban Strategies works
with more than 30,000 low- to moderate-income families in 31 communities across
24 major metropolitan areas. In this episode, we talk about the importance of
not only aiming to increase incomes for marginalized households but to also
promote wealth creation. I talk with Donovan Duncan, the Executive Vice
President of Urban Strategies, and Kristie Stutler, the Vice President of
Policy and Influence at USI. We discuss how USI defines “wealth,” what it means
to center wealth-building in place-based initiatives, and implications for
systems change and measuring results.
