Many low-income families are excluded from neighborhoods that offer residents opportunities critical to economic stability and mobility, including thriving schools, good jobs, healthy environments, and access to public transportation.
An idea under the Partnership’s strategy to ensure zip code is not destiny, Opportunity Neighborhoods: Building the Foundation for Economic Mobility in America’s Metros puts forward a proposal to test whether a coordinated regional strategy can reverse a legacy of segregation, disinvestment, and exclusion.
Speakers include:
Anthony B. Iton, Member, US Partnership on Mobility from Poverty; Senior Vice President for Healthy Communities, The California Endowment
Margery Austin Turner, Senior Vice President for Program Planning and Management, Urban Institute
Solomon Greene, Senior Fellow, Urban Institute
