Author and Brookings Senior Fellow Andre Perry, who has collaborated with LISC on the work to upend racially biased real estate appraisals, inaugurates a seven-essay series from LISC and NPQ, “Community Strategies for Systems Change.” Perry's article dissects how progressive grassroots action can lead to critical policy change and, pointing to the upcoming series, authored by LISC's local partners, notes that it's in “community stories such as these that you will find the fundamental building blocks of systemic change.”

What will it take to address the persistent discrimination that drives down home values for Black families? A LISC webcast featuring Andre Perry tackles the question as part of an ongoing conversation about Project 10X, LISC’s $1 billion strategy to narrow racial gaps in health, wealth and opportunity.
