In Episode 12 of the #TrustTalks #podcast, guest Joanna Trotter of JPMorgan Chase & Co. notes: "I think just recognizing the important tension between affordability and wealth building, and knowing that both of those are needed... That's important in some communities, but in others, it's about: 'We have been disinvested for decades and we need a tool to build wealth and we deserve that tool'... I think all is critical is that we're not just building the homes, but we're thinking about the barriers and how do we remove those." #Chicago #Philanthropy #Homeownership Tune in to learn more: https://lnkd.in/grrdG6Fs

In Episode 12 of the #TrustTalks #podcast, guest Timothy Swanson of Inherent L3C notes: "If you believe in the power of generational wealth through homeownership, then you believe that you have to build housing that can last more than a generation. So we have to build the best versions of what we can bring to the table. So collaboration as a developer, this type of work can't happen in a silo. In fact, we see what happens when development happens in a silo in a community. The community is outside of that conversation." #Chicago #Philanthropy #Homeownership Tune in to learn more: https://lnkd.in/grrdG6Fs

"...once you've done something that matters, it's really hard to do something that doesn't matter...and 'mattering' takes so many different forms. 'Mattering' can just be delivering a message that makes people feel joy...and yes, of course we want it be about saving the world, but sometimes you just want to make people feel good in their own skin for 5 minutes and that can matter too..."
