Its a blitz of service to show Young Professionals are committed to Service Within the league. Mr. Lambert, the Greater Washington urban league runs a host of education, job training and housing programs. What is the focus of your Leadership Team . All of those continue to expand our base. We serve the district of columbia, Prince George and Montgomery County as well. So initially what were going to look at is ramping up visibility many in Prince George and Montgomery County expanding our footprint. We have separations in Prince Georges at this point. The problems are so many. I had a great meeting weeks ago with baker. Were talking and exploring ways to continue to be supportive of residents and county. Right now the state of maryland as you all know is considering raising the minimum wage. The district has done that. Many big cities are tackling inequality. Theres a study done that showed income inequality tends to be higher in cities that are economically prosperous and booming like washington. What does your experience say . 1200 residents the last 18 months, our economy is booming. The top 20 of families makes 30 times more than family at the bottom. We want to be the organization that has an honest discussion in a positive way that doesnt assign blame or judgment. We want those influential folks to settle here. We want those that have made their home in d. C. Forever to stay as well. Its creating the community to work in a way the community should work. Creating equality and economic progress can Work Together in the same city . It should. We want to be the moderating force so to speak. One of the key issues we serve over 65,000 residents in terms of delivery and advocacy. One of the issues here is this transition happening in the city and certainly around as well. Im a Firm Believer those in the fabric of our city should have the opportunity in redevelopment of the city. The challenge is making the balance work. I think we can be a moderating force. Thats the sweet spot for us in terms of making that balance work. Charis, washington hack a sweet spot for young people like the ones in your thursday network. Its a city thats grown incredibly young. Young people face their own income challenges. Yeah. They simply cant afford to live in parts of the region. We want to take advantage of Financial Literacy courses and professional development to make sure theyre making the most of their Career Opportunities so that theyre thriving in the region.

Its quite a popular term. Maybe its unpopular here in d. C. Now. How would you solve the citys or approach the Affordable Housing crisis . Where the urban league likes to go with discussions like this. Its not make it expensive or Affordable Housing. Lets make it and conversation. When you look where two orhree buildings have been replaced, there should be more opportunity for people to fit in the footprints. We have to have the discussion. Its a policy discussion and coming down to economic ways to make this reality. We have a program of helping folks who are first time home buyers get in the system. More importantly we help them stay there. Its one thing to get in the home. Its another to keep up with payments and understand what it means to be a homeowner. Avoiding foreclosure and thriving in the community is where we have a role to play. Youre helping them go from renting to owning. For many americans, the American Dream of owning is slipping away. For many its a nightmare. It is becoming a nightmare. Michael said the fact the city takes on 13,000 new residents a year. When you look at the africanamerican over the past decade, weve lost 40,000 residents. Clearly this balance ive alluded to, the balance michael alluded to as well, is still not in play as of yet. Thats where we push that agenda and certainly push the discussion. Thats where we can bring the various candidates running for office to the table and begin to have that discussion. Were a non partisan organization which means we dont support candidates. We believe in democracy of idea. We do want and will push having the conversation. Members of the thursday network im sure want to own homes . Yes. Tell us about their dreams and how youre helping them accomplish them. Homeowners we touched on this might not be the ultimate goal any longer. Having that conversation to make sure people are comfortable with what their new reality is. We have monthly meetings on personal development topics. Housing comes up many times in that conversation because its kind of central to feeling have you reach had the marker in your life . Kind of saying maybe thats different. Where do you want to go . What will be the next step . We believe in bringing experts to the table. They can speak to us about what we havent experienced and we can become comfortable in next steps. Finding your new dream is how we empower our members. Thats where the dream starts. You focus on etteaching childre but also parents. Talk about that. Weve had great partnerships with a lot of Financial Institutions and making sure people know how to balance checks. You dont write checks for more money than you have in your account. Thats important. Certainly making sure the family is part of the process and understands that as well. Taking it down kids as well. So its again been a great partnership. We want to continue, do more, expand it in the other jurisdictions we work in as well. You know, michael, our parents understood. They were old fashioned. A lot of principleed, live within your mean, save for a rainy day. Thats something that has gotten lost in the generations. Absolutely. I was raise ared by my mom, a single mom, a school janitor. She taught me everything about work ethic. It was about living in your means. My mom raised my sister and i. We never felt like we had less than needed. I give an example of how we tackle this. A lot of groups say we need to do this but have a hard time actually doing it. Urban league tries to be the bridge. On the gala march 19th well a ward scholarships for i had kids to go to college. A lot of folks in town give scholarships. We take it a step further. We follow students and families as they go through the college experience. If youre the first in your family to go to college, getting there is a challenge but staying there is a biggerle which a. Urban league works with students and faeps. Lets get in and get to the other side so your family and community can benefit. Thats something were passionate about. Its exciting to see an organization that understands the mission.

Snow will come to an end early monday afternoon. Its going to be high impact event. Most of the area in the 5 to 10 inch accumulation range. Some places little bit less or more. Expect 5 to 10 inches. The drive is mild. Temperatures in the 50s. Forecast coming up at 7 30. Welcome back. Were talking to the Greater Washington urban league. We talked about how husing and scholarship programs. I want to get back to housing. You serve montgomery and Prince Georges counties. Issues are a little different there, how . A little different in Prince Georges county. Unfortunately they have the unproud distinction of having the highest foreclosure rate in the state of maryland. The administration is concerned act being addreggressive in terf responding to that. There are four target areas where you have the lowest income, the high turnover in terms of foreclosure. We provide counselling. The key thing is is folks get to us. What i say is really not wait until the 11th hour. So many times that occurs. We try to turn the situation around, but it is difficult. Were looking at ways. I say folks think out of the box. We are in terms of our service delivery, how were effective in doing outreach and getting folks engaged early on. Four target areas. What are the areas . Well, there are actually six i think target areas. Theyre in the middle of the county. These are areas as i said where theyve been the highest incidents of low income persons, out of work unemployed, low education is an issue as well. For a number of the residents there who are unemployed or underemployed because that tends to be anssue as well. We have an entrepreneur ship program. Some begin to explore and pretty much made a decision that the point, its time for me to go to work for myself. We have a program that we started at this point. Its teaching folks the skills around becoming an entrepreneur which we think is key. The other thing is a lot of times that helps create jobs. Small businesses create many jobs in this country. Theres interesting ways we look at trying to help folks out of poverty. Talk about the challenges in Montgomery County. The challenges regionally are not terribly different. When you look at district, Prince Georges, Montgomery County. Theyre all facing similar challenges. Whats interesting is theres similar opportunities. When the league comes in and builds on things like the entrepreneur ship program. Were not assuming they do not have a skill set. Were trying to help them turn that into a business. You might be a good plumber but dont know how to turn that into a business. Thats what the league does. It turns a trade into a business to empower temperaturhe familie communities. Charis is that one of the dreams of the members of the thursday network, to start their own businesses . It really is. We do an entrepreneur ship opportunity every year, a workshop open to all professions. Thats a uniqyou unique partner. We want to give them the passion and run with it for themselves. In terms of starting a business, there are simple businesses that just about anybody can start based on what they know how to do. Talk about that. Many dont realize that just basic skills, whether doing hair or nails or cooking, baking, building things. Theres so many skills that young people have today they can use to make money to pay their bills, get them through college and turn skills into businesses. Exactly. The slang term is side hustle. That is something you promote. Right now where you are you can be a Business Owner with hair styling or catering. You can turn that into a business without the risk of leaving your current job provided the stability you need. Theres opportunity for you to become an sbrentrepreneur today. We try to put framing around that. A lot of businesses in order to move to the next level needs varying certification. We try to insure folks get the certification they need, know where to get them. They know the various opportunities, where this is subcontract things they can do as well. We try to put the structure and framing it. And the financing . Absolutely. Well be right back. Stay with us. Welcome back. Continuing our discussion with the Greater Washington urban league, how are you helping your clients navigate the Insurance Market . It is a very interesting market to say the least. Im sure you know that. One of the things we do, we have clients to come in. We really kind of help them take a look at various options. What is the best fit for them based on family size, income, what the Health Issues are. Just certainly try to stir them in the direction of a plan that will work for them. The really interesting thing about the health care law. In this town, everything is so political. At the end of the day were supporting Healthy Communities and families. The healthier our community is, the stronger our region and economy is. Thats what we do well. We say theres politics, but lets set that a side and help people get in programs to help them. I think we do that effectively. Our most young people in the thursday network enrolled . Do they have insurance . Most do. Theres a large section of Young Professionals that are contractors. Theyre not getting the Traditional Health insurance through their jobs. Making sure theyre connected to right opportunities to make sure they are enrolled. Young professionals are the key part of the Health Exchange success. Lets talk about the young people going off to college and doing well. You have an impressive record of helping students. You alluded to the scholarship program. Im curious how you manage to continue giving such wonderful and generous scholarships in a tough economy. How have you done that . Great partners. Through the initiative and scholarships. The thursday network, young effort of great partners. People raise money for each year this year for scholarships as well. Example, were giving nine many of the companies and corporations we work with, this is a key priority. They want to be in the organization like the urban league. They know this is the base of folks we touch. They have stepped up, bore to this as well. We give just this year giving nine scholarships to worthying Young Students throughout the washington metropolitan area. We take them through the deliberate process, if you will, in terms that we screen, look at background, certainly look at their initiatives, where theyre trying to go. They come in. Theres an interview process they go through as well. I think its a good piece that we do and the work were doing. Mr. Aiken . Absolutely. Its the best part of the gala. You see young people standing on stage with the excitement and families getting excited as well. After that we try to keep them excited to go through the next four years. College is hard. People get excited to go. We need to keep them there and come out the other end active in the society. Become Corporate Leaders and sponsors in the future years. We have examples of people coming through the league coming back to support the generation. Thats how its supposed to work. Youre referring to the 42nd gala in march at the grand hotel.
