Episode 1619: The Creative Stickup w/Kacey Cordes Mahrt, VP US Bancorp Community Dev Corp

The Creative Stickup

We say all politics is local and I believe it. As much as the always-on-eleven-reality show the current presidential campaign has become, it’s the decisions of the city and the neighborhoods we live in that will actually have far greater effects on our daily existence. Kacey works for US Bancorp in the Community Development Corporation and co-chairs a coalition led by Urban Land Institute in partnership with Forward Through Ferguson, aimed at community development goals in the Ferguson Commission report. Kacey and Jeff talk about how governments use tax credits get private money to develop affordable housing for the public good, the dynamics of Racial Equity and what is at stake in next years St. Louis Mayors Race. http://forwardthroughferguson.org/ Here's the link to the anti racism training firm we talk about. http://crossroadsantiracism.org/
