Restoring Prosperity

This week GOPC hosted the first webinar in our series “Keeping People in Their Homes” a series exploring strategies for promoting neighborhood stability in the time of COVID. Each webinar in the series addresses themes of neighborhood stability by focusing on strategies well-suited to a variety of actors, including mission-driven developers, local governments and non-profit community advocates.
Last week, GOPC Executive Director Alison Goebel and former Cleveland Heights City Manager Tanisha Briley had an op-ed published in the Cleveland Plain Dealer advocating for the incoming Biden Administration to push for a new federal/local partnership program designed to assist America’s economically challenged places.
Other issues that had been a part of the negotiations in the lead-up to this compromise, including state and local government funding, liability protection for employers, and student loan relief, were not included as a part of the compromise. Those issues may yet be addressed in future legislation after the new year when the new Biden administration takes office on January 20.
