]]> Memphis—among six localities in which we work as part of the Strong, Prosperous, And Resilient Communities Challenge (SPARCC)—is among them.

We’re highlighting Memphis this week at the National Interagency Community Reinvestment Conference in Miami as a city in which leaders, stakeholders and citizens are making the connection between climate, disinvestment, health and economic opportunity.

Hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, the conference brings together public, nonprofit, and private sector practitioners and leaders to learn how to form coalitions of stakeholders, resources, and strategies to strengthen communities in the face of social and economic challenges. This year, it is also emphasizing the importance of resilience in revitalizing communities faced with repeated devastation from the effects of climate change.

]]> Good evening.

Thank you, Principal Seitz, for hosting us here at Adams High School, and to the choir for that performance. I want to thank Dr. Spells for being here this evening, and for the work you and the School Board are doing to prepare South Bend’s next generation

I was delighted to learn that South Bend Community School Corporation was recently selected for the College Board’s national AP Honor Roll for their commitment to expanding access to Advanced Placement courses. Our individual students and teams in academic and athletic competition throughout South Bend Schools make our whole City proud.

I want to thank President Scott and the members of the South Bend Common Council for being here tonight, and Clerk Kareemah Fowler for your leadership.

]]> The National Center for Healthy Housing ranks the Memphis MSA worst out of 45 metro areas for unhealthy housing. Subpar housing has been linked to poor health outcomes, high utility bills, evictions, and lower academic achievement for children who have lead poisoning or asthma.

Poisoning caused by lead paint in pre-1978 housing, and chronic asthma triggered by pests like roaches and rats and mold from water leaks are more common among residents of substandard housing in poorer neighborhoods.
