Join us as we discuss ‘We Are All Neighbors In One Big Community: The effect of the affordable housing crisis on living and aging in the Bay Area’ with Karen Nemsick, the Director of the Housing Justice Initiative with United Way Bay Area. Karen Nemsick has led several housing initiatives in the Bay Area to support low-income households. In this conversation, she draws from her more than 10-year tenure as Executive Director of Rebuilding Together where she successfully grew its home repair programs in underserved neighborhoods, her fellowship with Fuse Corp where she led the establishment of a community land trust to create environmentally sustainable housing for people living with serious mental health challenges in Alameda County, and her current role as Director of the Housing Justice Initiative at UWBA, which in 2023 distributed $750,000 housing justice grants to 23 grassroots organizations. Listen and learn about what is happening now to address the affordable housing crisis, how you can advocate for affordable housing in your neighborhood, and what innovative solutions are on the horizon to tackle this community-wide issue.
