C.A.R.’s fourth annual Fair Housing Day is one week away. Our thrilling sessions will conclude with remarks from our Closing Keynote Speaker Leah Rothstein, co-author of Just Action: How to Challenge Segregation Enacted Under the Color of Law. This incredible read describes how local community groups can redress the wrongs of segregation. She has been a consultant to nonprofit housing developers, cities and counties, redevelopment agencies, and private firms on community development and affordable housing policy, practice, and finance.
