Fairfield County is one of the most segregated places in the country with institutional racism embedded into the fabric of our land use and zoning regulations. This current reality is the legacy of a history of explicit government policies at the local, state and federal level intentionally designed to exclude Black and Brown residents from living together with white residents in our communities. The time for change is now. Join us for a series of frank conversations on how we got where we are and where we go from here.

National systems change expert, Dr. Tiffany Manuel, PhD, President and CEO of TheCaseMade, will review the results of in-depth research into the challenges to building public support for affordable housing in Fairfield County and presents a ​“playbook” designed to build the public and political will to address our region’s affordable housing crisis.

This is the third webinar in Fairfield County’s Center for Housing Opportunity’s Summer Webinar Series
