A New Deal For Housing Justice: Ford Foundation and Community Change Housing Playbook Project

I contributed to the playbook, specifically focusing on the intersections of housing, health, education, and upward economic mobility and proposing a housing policy agenda for the first 100-200 days of the next administration.
