    Overview

Yale alumnus David Kim moderates this panel discussion focusing on ways local Houston organizations help working class residents build assets and financial stability through both workforce housing development and other community investments.  Panel participants represent a range of organizations that have made impressive contributions to promoting economic and social stability for working class Houstonians.  Confirmed panelists currently include:

  • Laura Bailey, Managing Vice President, Community Loans and Investments, Capital One
  • Algenita Scott Davis, Executive Director, Houston Habitat for Humanity
  • Stephan Fairfield, President/CEO, Covenant Community Capital Corporation and Covenant Neighborhoods
  • Gloria Sanderson, Program Director, Houston Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC)

Capital One, Houston Habitat for Humanity, Covenant Community Capital, and Houston LISC also will highlight ways in which community development can be good business - either through tapping underserved markets  (such as the working class) or accessing government incentives like tax credits and housing grants.

Join us for what is sure to be an enlightening and engaging discussion!
