During Giving Season on December 12, 2022, I attended the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation Homeless Initiative Annual Convening at the Annenberg Community Beach House. Entering this new space of conversation, the previous recognition of small actions reminded me of the greater shifts possible through collective effort.

Following a discussion on narrative change, our table explored a shared reflection:

“Transformational shifts in wealth building redirect power and decision making toward communities historically excluded.”

The conversations emphasized that pursuing equity leads to justice and reinforced the importance of continually challenging assumptions as we advance dignified solutions. Key takeaway: Equity and challenging assumptions are vital for justice.

I am grateful to have connected with leaders committed to expanding pathways to housing stability and economic opportunity.
