Lydia shares impactful knowledge on why “Section 8” is no longer how we talk about the Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP) in DC, overcoming stigmas, and beating systems that do not work.
  2. Lending with Purpose How is it possible to award “no-strings” downpayment funds to BIPOC neighbors? lisa and Shawn discuss how her company does just that. lisa also goes on to tell her inspirational story of where she’s from, and how she started Nest which ultimately led to the parent company, Flock DC and its multiple management companies. Listen in for where she’s going from BirdWatch to her first book “Self Elected”, available in the Fall. If you’re looking for a cohesive update on everything Flock and lisa wise, look no further.
