COVID-19 has revealed a host of inequities throughout our hometown by exposing systemic issues that continue to plague specific communities. Through the lens of the Renewal of Friendship Court, Charlene Green, Deputy Director, Piedmont Housing Alliance and Sunshine Mathon, Executive Director, Piedmont Housing Alliance will deep dive into how income and cultural integration redefine how we view community. By welcoming new community members at a range of incomes, in addition to adding critically needed affordable units to the community at an ideal location, residents are hoping to erode past stigma of perception while maintaining cultural identity and a sense of home which has been true for so many.
During this discussion, it is important to keep in mind that this is a groundbreaking community-building project without precedent; your input and questions will be highly valuable thinking points for residents and experts as they work on this structural redesign. Additionally, we encourage participants to browse ‘The Reimagining of Friendship Court’ website here to make the most of the group discussion and audience participation portions of this program.
