Ideas to Action Series: Affordable Housing

The Women's Fund of Winston-Salem is excited to launch its Ideas to Action event series to lift up ways to follow directly-impacted leaders, add power and influence to local movements driving change, and help move forward community-led solutions. Join the Fund for the first of this four-part series that will take deep dives into the most pressing issues facing women and girls in our community.

With the eviction crisis sweeping our community and housing prices dramatically increasing, our community seeks new ways to advocate for reforms, emergency relief, and shifting the balance of power in housing to be more equitable, fair, and just.

In this virtual event, you'll hear from local leaders on how they're supporting low-wage earners to stay in and find affordable options for housing, including:‍

• Ruth Cole Burcaw, City with Dwellings‍
• Andrea Kurtz, United Way of Forsyth County‍
• Twana Roebuck, Experiment in Self-Reliance‍
• Dan Rose, Housing Justice Now‍
• Lori Fuller (moderator), Board Chair of The Women's Fund

Stay tuned for upcoming Ideas to Action events on the topics below: 

• Equitable Public Education (Pre-K through 12)
• Fair and Livable Wages
• Improved Access to Childcare
