It requires an intentional focus on eliminating racial inequities and barriers, and making accountable and catalytic investments to ensure lower-wealth residents: • Live in healthy, safe, opportunity-rich neighborhoods that reflect their culture (and are not displaced from them); • Connect to economic and ownership opportunities; and • Have voice and influence in the decisions that shape their neighborhoods.
