Included: Real-Life Lessons for Deconstructing Exclusionary Communities
Researcher and author Richard Kahlenberg, who interviewed Families Flourish families in 2020 about their experiences in the program, has now turned his research into the book “Excluded.”
On Nov. 30 at 6:30 p.m. FF partners with CCAD to feature Kahlenberg with panelists Kumi Walker and Doug Ulman, who grew up together in Columbia, MD, a city designed to resist segregation.
RSVP above right, and buy your book in advance to have the author sign it after the evening’s panel.
Power of Opportunity Fundraiser 2023
Families Flourish’s Power of Opportunity fundraiser is planned for Thursday, December 7, from 5:30-7 p.m.
Eat, drink, DONATE, and meet some members of our new families and our pilot families. Watch this webpage for more details as the committee secures them.
Families Flourish makes affordable rental housing available in neighborhoods that offer access to green spaces, schools, safe neighborhoods, employment and other indicators of success so that all families at all income levels in Central Ohio have a true choice to live in a community of opportunity.
Be part of our growth! Tickets fuel our invitation for the next families to enter our unique program. The family you help may very well be a family living around the corner.
Thank you to our Power of Opportunity Sponsors
