The Biden-Harris Administration’s proposed #CommunityRevitalizationFund (CRF) is a game-changing opportunity to create and sustain healthy communities—with racial equity as a core program element.
Join us by signing on to support CRF by Friday, 8/6: https://t.co/BvEJeYqPrx
This is one of the most pressing affordable rental housing preservation challenges we face. Thanks @LISC_Policy for your advocacy. @Liifund is with you!
Qualified contracts have drained 100k+ units from the affordable rental housing stock. In our latest blog, Matt Josephs & Michael Skrebutenas discuss why @LISC_HQ is calling on Congress to repeal this #LIHTC provision to preserve affordable rental housing: https://t.co/Y296z4Vupf
Because #CDFIs have a mission to reach low-wealth communities, they are ideally positioned to finance projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and curb the impact of #climatechange in the most vulnerable communities. #greenhousegas#greenfinance https://t.co/GecurhN31A
LIIF remains committed to:
- Always stand with, listen to & support all historically excluded communities;
- Denounce all attacks on the safety of any community; and
- Continue evolving into an anti-racist organization.
All communities deserve better than this.
We stand with the #AAPI community during this trying time. Read our statement decrying the recent California mass shootings @ https://t.co/ZvdYX94Fil.

Check out SAHF’s new Toolkit for Resident-Centered Outcomes Measurement, created with the support of Amazon’s Housing Equity Fund! It details how #affordablehousing providers can measure resident outcomes while centering equity and residents. https://t.co/BlmJUOvVLV
Neighborhood segregation remains one of the primary impediments to opportunity. The Biden admin's movement to reinstate & update the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) Rule is an important step toward #equity. We look forward to commenting. https://t.co/JnQPjvJ7Jn
Climate change can be harmful to young children, impacting their health, development, and ability to thrive in school and life. The IRA can help the early years ecosystem mitigate and adapt to future harms: https://t.co/SVUfop39GM

MLK Jr’s words remind us that the deepest, most insidious, most pervasive forces that perpetuate racism & inequality are the people & systems which maintain the status quo & inhibit real change: those "more devoted to order than to justice." It is imperative that we press forward
Today’s national day of service, in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's commitment to equity and his impact on society, reinforces LIIF’s priorities to shift power and capital to Black and Latino communities and our investments to dismantle barriers to opportunities. #MLKDay

Our industry is rooted in the civil rights movement. CDFIs know that racial and financial justice must be linked. Today we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his commitment to racial equity.

Ask any parent and they’ll tell you: the cost of child care is out of reach for too many in America.
Affordable, high-quality child care is how we set families up for success — and I’m fighting to make it a reality for all.
"Centering racial equity around #ClimateChange is imperative for early child care and education. For example, early learning centers in Coachella Valley are limited in play periods where kids cannot stay outside in 120 degree temperatures." LIIF’s CSO & EVP @LucyAB_LIIF_CSO
Glad to see this growing conversation about climate resilience in the #childcare sector, and how CDFIs can be helpful partners to our youngest neighbors. @capita_social @ThisIsPlanetEd
"All existing and planned early care and education facilities must be renovated or built with resilient, high-quality, and sustainable materials." - @joefretwell1
Tune in now to the Early Years Climate Action Task Force listening session with @capita_social @ThisIsPlanetEd
"Centering child health and well-being in climate policy, specifically through a lens of space, facilities, and the built environment, is a critical piece in building resilient communities and ensuring that all children can live healthy, fulfilling lives."-@joefretwell1 @Liifund
"LIIF is increasingly driven by the idea that what’s good for our youngest neighbors is good for all of us." - @joefretwell1

In recent comments to @EPA, LIIF advocated that #childcare providers be prioritized in the new Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund to help protect children from toxic emissions and air pollution. Read our full comment letter: https://t.co/mi64O0NWZO
The CDFI sector is excited to help @EPA deploy the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund and best support underserved communities with clean energy and climate justice. Read the detailed comments we sent to EPA: https://t.co/UkUDvfA95R
"In many cities... the single most effective climate strategy local leaders can pursue is to add what’s known as infill housing, apartments or townhouses built in underutilized parts of cities to reduce car dependence and improve energy efficiency." https://t.co/hmLP20FYjE
The evidence is clear that affordable housing & child care are essential to family economic security and household stability. But there are still too many barriers preventing family access. Thank you @RepBonamici for leading this innovative proposal to support families!
Co-locating child care with affordable housing will reach those who need help the most. I’ve seen how co-location is benefitting Oregonians, and I’m introducing the Build Housing with Care Act to make this lifechanging service available to more families. https://t.co/SyguczLCzT
