Join us for our third and final Summer of CEDAM webinar: The opportunity is now: Investing in immediate and long-term affordable housing solutions

Across the state, there is currently an extreme shortage of affordable housing for all individuals – but the impact of this is especially detrimental for low-income households. As a result, many cost-burdened individuals are sacrificing necessities, such as healthcare and food, to avoid eviction. As we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, what housing resources are needed to ensure safety and accessibility for all communities? 

In our third and final Summer of CEDAM webinar, ​“The opportunity is now: Investing in immediate and long-term affordable housing solutions,” we’ll unpack how the affordable housing crisis is impacting Michigan communities, and how we can strategically advocate for affordable housing funding and resources. Mercedes Brown, Michigan director at the Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH), and Rep. Joe Tate will join us to share their experiences at the organizational and legislative levels. Join us Monday, August 16 at 10am EST.

The Summer of CEDAM is a monthly series to spotlight our 2021–22 policy priorities: community economic development, economic inclusion, and affordable housing. These priorities were identified through stakeholder groups and member surveys, and guide our advocacy efforts, shape our coalitions, and help mobilize our partners and members. The series features three virtual conversations and an in-person wrap-up event to hear from legislators about the opportunities to move these community development policy priorities forward, as well as from our members who can provide insight to their work and the needs of their communities. 

CEDAM and the Ohio CDC Association are excited to be working with Think for Good, Inc. for a third time this year. On August 24 from 1:00–3:00pm EST we present: Leading Beyond Compliance: Courage, Connection, Communication, Connecting the Dots.

During this webinar participants will explore their most utilized leadership style; Identify how to shift leadership styles based upon the situation and context; Identify practices for creating a mindful leadership culture in the workplace; learn how to tap into motivational drivers; learn versatile coaching techniques to foster connection and yield better outcomes.

Join us for another dynamic workshop with Tray Deadwyler!
