Testimony by Nancy Andrews of the Low Income Investment Fund, prepared for the RWJF Commission to Build a Healthier America, on the need for better collaboration between the health and community development sectors.
If I could make a wish for community development as a whole, it would be that we reach across the aisle in partnership with our colleague organizations in human development, united around a common vision of human well-being, economic mobility, and social progress. My wish is that our shared vision will lead us to a few common measures that would align our work and help us adapt, learn, improve.
