Refocusing the ‘infrastructure’ conversation on people

BY DUANNE ANDRADE, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR — 05/22/21 10:00 AM EDT

SELF’s Chief Financial and Strategic Officer, Duanne Andrade published an op-ed in The Hill that explains how investing in stronger, safer, homes can build a healthier, more just, and resilient society. This opinion piece was published shortly after Duanne testified before Congress regarding the benefits of a National Climate Bank.

Here is an excerpt:

It’s time to rethink capital deployment to make housing climate-resilient and truly affordable. We need to catalyze investments in our communities and place our bet on America’s working-class everyday heroes. A National Climate Bank will go a long way in supporting healthier, more resilient infrastructure for all Americans to thrive.
