SUMMARY:The Last House on the Block: Lessons from Brightmoor\, Detroit on Disinvestment\, Reinvestment and Community Power
DESCRIPTION:What does meaningful reinvestment look like in communities experiencing long-term depopulation and disinvestment?Using Detroit’s Brightmoor neighborhood as a case study\, this conversation explores what happens when gentrification collides with deep depopulation\, and what that reveals about investment\, neighborhood change and who gets to shape a community’s future. \n\n\n\nDrawing on the book The Last House on the Block: Black Homeowners\, White Homesteaders\, and Failed Gentrification in Detroit (University of Chicago Press\, 2025)\, the discussion will examine why traditional narratives about neighborhood revitalization often fall short in places where population loss\, rather than growth\, has defined the local economy. \n\n\n\nFrom there\, the conversation will broaden to consider Brightmoor’s longer history\, the enduring leadership and resilience of residents\, and the policy and financial tools that can help communities direct investment\, strengthen local ownership and build toward long-term flourishing. \n\n\n\nBringing together research\, lived experience and policy expertise\, this webinar will explore lessons for practitioners working in depopulated and disinvested communities across the country. \n\n\n\nSpeakers:Sharon Cornelissen\, Director of Housing\, Consumer Federation of America and author of The Last House on the Block: Black Homeowners\, White Homesteaders\, and Failed Gentrification in DetroitPhyllis Edwards\, Executive Director\, Bridging CommunitiesPastor Larry Simmons\, Executive Director\, Brightmoor AllianceJosh Silver\, Senior Fellow at NCRC and author of Ending Redlining through a Community-Centered Reform of the Community Reinvestment Act

SUMMARY:Building Homes and Communities for When We Age
DESCRIPTION:Longer lifespans\, evolving household structures\, and growing care needs are changing what people need from their homes and communities. In this webinar\, which builds on Shelterforce’s recent Under the Lens series—Housing in an Aging Society\, panelists will discuss how households are adapting to the realities of growing older\, and the housing policies and solutions that can help support aging safely\, affordably\, and connected to one another. \n\n\n\nThis 90-minute webinar will explore:· What is the scale of the housing need for an aging U.S. population?· What does it mean to “age in place\,” or “age in community\,” and what are the differences between the two terms?· What is “livability” and how can it be promoted in an aging community?· How does age discrimination intersect with other forms of discrimination such as sexism and racism and what are some promising ways to confront that?· What are some promising approaches to leverage existing housing infrastructure to enable people to age in their own homes and communities?· How does an intergenerational community function? What are the benefits and the challenges for both younger and older residents?· What are the public policy measures that can better support aging in community? What do they cost—and what is the cost of not acting?· What are some specific steps advocates can take to improve housing options for older Americans? \n\n\n\nPanelists include:—Delores Bailey\, executive director of EMPOWERment Inc.\, a community development corporation in Chapel Hill\, North Carolina.—Rodney Harrell\, vice president of family\, home\, and community for AARP Public Policy Institute. Harrell is a lead for AARP’s housing and livable community efforts.—Tamara Knox\, cofounder and CEO of Seattle-based Frolic Community\, which is developing intergenerational\, cooperatively owned housing.—Stacy Torres\, assistant professor of sociology at the University of California\, San Francisco.

SUMMARY:Reclaiming Our Narrative: Independent Media and the Road to the Midterms
DESCRIPTION:Overview \n\n\n\nThe fight over who shapes the narrative is already underway. \n\n\n\nAs communities navigate rising costs\, political uncertainty\, and a rapidly changing media landscape\, independent Black media and community creators are essential to reaching people with information that is credible\, relevant\, and grounded in their lived experiences. \n\n\n\nWith the Black press approaching its 200th anniversary in 2027\, this is a defining moment to ask: Who gets to tell our stories? Who shapes the conversation?

SUMMARY:Stop the CRA Rollback: What’s at stake and how to fight back
DESCRIPTION:The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) is one of the most important tools communities have to hold banks accountable for investing\, lending and providing services in low- and moderate-income communities. Now\, a new proposal from federal regulators would weaken those obligations while reducing transparency and accountability. \n\n\n\nThe proposal puts an estimated $71 billion to $87 billion a year in community development financing at risk — financing that supports affordable housing\, economic development\, community services and underserved communities. \n\n\n\nJoin NCRC’s President and CEO Jesse Van Tol and Senior Policy Advisor Kevin Hill to understand what the proposed changes could mean for your community and how you can take action before the October 13 public comment deadline. \n\n\n\nDon’t wait to take action: Visit ncrc.org/cra to see what’s at risk in your state and use that data to submit a comment to federal regulators.
