Join us for a screening of Fighting for Home: How Housing Policy Keeps Connecticut Segregated, followed by a panel discussion.  This program is a bonus program in our Poverty: a community conversation series.

The legacy of exclusionary zoning and redlining imposed a painful divide we see today in our state’s current housing crisis. Our towns and cities are segregated by race and class because of systemic barriers that have persisted over time. Witness the struggle and determination of those fighting for change.  Running time, 57 m, 36s.

Our panelists are:

Sabrina Buckwalter, Connecticut Public, Story Producer, Fighting for Home

Dan Polhamus, Chairman, Avon Town Council

Sean Ghio, Policy Director, Partnership for Strong Communities

Amy Arlin, Avon resident

Sarah White, Staff Attorney, CT Fair Housing
