Fire Call: Toward a Fair and Just Recovery

About

The fires are finally out. While human needs are still front and center, talk of rebuilding is also underway. At NCG, we’re paying special attention to insights from people outside the centers of power as they envision a community where everyone gets to contribute and everyone stands to gain. As philanthropy, we can leverage our resources, partnerships with community organizations, and our access to the decision-making table to elevate the role of communities whose knowledge we value and trust.

Join us to hear ideas on where we go from here. We will learn how one community is developing their platform to meet the long-term needs of the residents. Another speaker will share the story of a newly-formed organization bringing cross-sector stakeholders together to explore human centered design for recovery. Speakers will also address the opportunity to support the growing Latino community infrastructure as well as a model for community engagement that has worked in other disaster-stricken areas of the country, particularly on affordable housing development.
