The Rabbi David Lefkowitz Memorial Lecture presents:

HENRY CISNEROS
Housing: A Platform for Uplifting Families

Tuesday, Feb. 23 | 7:30 p.m. | Olan Sanctuary
Reception with Mr. Cisneros following in Tobian Auditorium

This year, housing innovator and former Secretary of HUD Henry Cisneros will be the speaker for the Lefkowitz Lecture. The economic downturn of 2008 brought the significance of housing to the forefront of the entire nation's thinking. It is a tremendously significant piece of the nation's lifeblood, both as a vital part of our economic health and stability, and as a part of the personal investment and financial security of American families. Housing is at the foundation of our ability to establish places to work, live, meet and grow community. Mr. Cisneros will discuss how the housing crisis ensued, why it is vital to continue to sustain ownership, and share his experience in how this is one of the foundations of establishing thriving communities.
Throughout his career in both the public and private sectors, Mr. Cisneros has offered a passionate voice for affordable housing in America’s cities, and is credited with initiating the revitalization of many of the nation’s public housing developments while he was the HUD Secretary.
