A community-based team, composed of Donna Carrington, Executive Director of Community Empowerment Fund (CEF), Danielle Spurlock, PhD, Assistant Professor, UNC Department of City and Regional Planning, and Allison De Marco, MSW PhD, Research Scientist, UNC Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute and School of Social Work, are leading a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF)-funded research project in Orange and Durham Counties, entitled, "Overcoming Structural Racism in Housing Stability and Wealth-building: Laying the Foundation for Community Health and Well Being." We'll be examining how CEF's services in Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Durham are related to housing stability, the short-term and longer-term effects of housing stability on financial, social, physical, and psychological well-being, and the disparate impacts of climate change. As part of this work, we are interested in understanding the local policy and practice context, via a series of community-based listening sessions.
