Open Communities Alliance is pleased to announce its Advisory Board!

The OCA Advisory Board is comprised of highly respected national and state experts in the areas of poverty prevention, civil rights, housing, and education. Several members have deep roots in faith communities, communities of color, and networks of progressive thought and action in Connecticut.  These ties are critical to OCA as it moves forward with its mission of empowering an urban-suburban interracial coalition advocating for access to opportunity for all people in Connecticut. 

As OCA works to support our partners focused on generating opportunity in areas that are under-resourced, the Advisory Board will support our particular focus of ensuring that affordable housing opportunities, disproportionately needed by families of color, are simultaneously created in higher opportunity communities.

Please join us in welcoming our Advisory Board!
