In this Episode:

Dara shares her thoughts on what inclusive community development looks like, and the financial challenges facing families today. Discover how policy makers, regulators, foundations, nonprofits and businesses can work together to promote greater equity and inclusion, particularly as it relates to persons with disabilities.
…The credit report, and in many cases the corresponding credit score are just so vital. And so having people included, being able to actually have a credit identity, I think is part of the fabric of the country for better or worse. It’s the way that it is now. — Dara Duguay
