Investment Without Displacement (2:00) More than 2 million Americans are evicted from their homes each year and millions more forced to leave neighborhoods and communities because of a national housing and displacement crisis. All six SPARCC sites share the common challenge of displacement and it’s a major focus of our work. As SPARCC enters its third year and looks ahead, our new video makes the connections between housing, health, equity, and climate that fuel our mission. It highlights our vision and purpose and unveils the collaboration and determination of our partners and leaders. SPARCC’s intention is to contribute to and shape a conversation that we are glad to see growing to national proportions – a conversation that both acknowledges the institutional history of today's systems and works to transform them into equitable and just systems for all.
