Community and social resilience cannot be achieved unless all people, regardless of race or income, are engaged equitably in our political and economic systems. This session will bring to life the third key threat facing our region–displacement–and the reality of what small businesses, affordable housing residents and building owners are facing in the shadow of historic economic disinvestment and regulatory barriers. Panelists will also explore system change strategies to increase social resilience now before an even greater disaster de-stabilizes our communities. Participants will walk away with a clear understanding of real-time innovative solutions that work and the persisting gaps and issues in the system.

Reception: Ready to unwind and continue the conversation? Join us for light hors d’oevres at The Stocking Frame located
