She uses an intersectional lens to investigate how systems of segregation, disinvestment, and extraction continue to bear down on our collective health and well-being. Allison uses the tools of policy analysis, popular education, and community investment to support those most affected by unjust systems to advance necessary transformations in their communities. Prior to founding Ground Works Consulting, Allison co-directed the Healthy Neighborhoods team at ChangeLab Solutions, and oversaw the organization’s health and housing practice. Allison was a Fulcrum Fellow at the Center for Community Investment. She graduated from UC Santa Cruz with a bachelor's degree in community studies and received masters’ degrees in building science and city planning from UC Berkeley. https://www.groundworksconsulting.org/miriam daily 0.75 2024-12-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8cf4fcfb706f4f214f54eb/1618591256442-HVN6L5KDYEIR8JQOVUGK/73E9076B-5D31-42A0-A47F-E0F05493C05D_1_201_a.jpeg Miriam - Miriam Zuk | Partner Miriam has been advancing environmental and housing justice through research and policy for over twenty years. She co-founded the Urban Displacement Project, a research and action lab at the University of California at Berkeley, and is widely published on the issues of gentrification, displacement, and equitable and sustainable development. Miriam’s upbringing as a first-generation American and grandchild of Holocaust survivors instilled in her the value of honoring differences and the drive to fight against injustice and oppression from an early age. Before becoming an urban planner, Miriam worked on improving air quality in urban environments, serving as the Deputy Director of Air Quality Research for the Mexican Ministry of Environment in the early 2000s. Miriam has a Ph.D. in urban planning from the University of California at Berkeley, an M.S. in technology and policy from M.I.T., and a B.A. in environmental science from Barnard College. Her superpower is her curiosity, and she tends to fall for places once she gets to know the people. https://www.groundworksconsulting.org/lin daily 0.75 2021-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8cf4fcfb706f4f214f54eb/5e640a2c-4207-492c-9935-248943cbc86b/Lin+reoutched+headshot+B%26W.jpg Lin - Lin Chin | Partner Lin works with public, philanthropic, and community partners to design and implement programs that make neighborhoods more equitably livable. She has more than a decade of experience working in and with local government to expand access to affordable, sustainable housing. Prior to joining Ground Works, Lin worked at the nonprofit organization Hello Housing, where she now serves on the Board of Directors, focusing on equity-centered outreach for homeownership programs and making ADUs a more viable housing solution for working families. Lin also worked on strategic initiatives at the City of Oakland, concentrating on interagency approaches to address the foreclosure crisis, abandoned properties, community resilience, and green & healthy housing. The child of immigrants from southeast Asia, Lin’s passion for economic and housing justice is driven by lived experience on both sides of this country’s racial-economic divide. She received her bachelor’s degree from Harvard and her law degree from UC Berkeley. https://www.groundworksconsulting.org/funding-community-led-development daily 0.75 2023-01-12

believes that vibrant, safe, and opportunity oriented communities help to create healthy, socially-connected, and actualized individuals. Since 2005, he has developed more than 400 affordable homes in Oakland, San Pablo, and Richmond, and supervised development teams that included large scale public-private joint venture partnerships, including the redevelopment of the Lake Merritt BART station as the Oakland Chinatown BART Station. Ener also has nonprofit executive experience in leading and resourcing programs to provide resident services, economic and financial empowerment, and neighborhood coalition building. In each of these professional capacities, he worked to ensure that private and public investment in the form of infrastructure and land use development projects more intentionally and directly benefited long time and current community residents, while making space for newcomers who are moving in. Ener has been a Steering Committee Member of the Oakland Chinatown Coalition; a Founding Member of Old Oakland Neighbors; a Founding Board Member of the Oakland Chinatown Improvement Council; a Founding Family Member of Yu Ming Mandarin Immersion Public Charter School; a Co-Founder of Friends of Lincoln Square Park; past President of the Pacific Renaissance Plaza Home Owners Association; past President of the Board of East Bay Housing Organizations, and served on the Investor Oversight Committee of the New Parkway Theater. Ener holds a Master’s degree in City and Regional Planning from UC Berkeley, loves to coach youth soccer, and lives in Oakland with his wife, two daughters, and pit terrier. https://www.groundworksconsulting.org/casestudies daily 0.75 2024-02-12 https://www.groundworksconsulting.org/casestudies/strengthening-foundations-bp97c monthly 0.5 2023-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8cf4fcfb706f4f214f54eb/5a353b2b-7cb1-4da5-b118-979094c42841/strengthening-foundations.jpg https://www.groundworksconsulting.org/casestudies/clarifying-pathways-wpllf monthly 0.5 2023-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8cf4fcfb706f4f214f54eb/37aa42e2-32c0-46aa-9cf2-6b1b2d44bb9a/clarifying-pathways.jpg https://www.groundworksconsulting.org/casestudies/sparking-imagination-and-possibility-t8g36 monthly 0.5 2023-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8cf4fcfb706f4f214f54eb/3ece1021-8693-4438-a9fd-ad7b24cbc935/sparking-imagination.jpg https://www.groundworksconsulting.org/casestudies/facilitating-collaboration-6swjp monthly 0.5 2023-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8cf4fcfb706f4f214f54eb/570a8b2b-9778-4870-8a30-964743ae2470/facilitating-collaboration.jpg
