Building Capacity in Under-Resourced Communities Summit

Building Capacity in Under-Resourced Communities Summit
The California Endowment, 1000 Alameda St, Los Angeles, CA 90012
Thursday,  June 13th, 2019 | 8:30AM-1PM (PDT)

Please join the Healthy, Equitable, Active Land Use (HEALU) Network for Part 2 of our four-part summit series, Equity as a Through Line: Social Movements, Public Finance, and Infrastructure Investments for Healthy Communities. Part 2 will explore crucial but overlooked challenges facing small cities and under-resourced communities, like the need to compete against larger and wealthier cities for grant dollars, the lack of sustained funding for community-based organizations to facilitate engagement and monitor highly-technical implementation processes, and a system that often favors “shovel-ready” projects over investing in long-term community capacity. Speakers will also reflect on what’s working well and how together we can build capacity in under-resourced communities across LA County and beyond. Register.
