Racial Disparities in Health Care Series

We had really informative discussions with our partners about vaccine skepticism.
Here is the YouTube link to our launch of this series held in conjunction with MLK Day. 
Here is the YouTube link to our February 21 discussion focused on the Black community. 
Here is the link to our April 11 discussion focused on the Hispanic/Lantinx community.
Here is the link to the video with Spanish subtitles. 
Please share these videos and let's get our community vaccinated! 

A big thank you, again, to the several panelists and partners who helped the ACEH put together this vital series. 


Affordable Housing in Holland
The ACEH supports expanding our housing stock

The Board of the ACEH continues to support the addition of housing stock to our city and neighboring communities -- particularly affordable housing. We support the work of Housing Next and its vision of adding Smart Density to our neighborhoods. We support collaboration and creativity as we move forward and our community grows. 

Please follow Housing Next on social media or sign up to receive its newsletter. Executive Director Ryan Kilpatrick does a great job explaining the need and demonstrating how Smart Density can be done in our neighborhoods without taking away from the aesthetics we love and appreciate.  Read the latest from Mr. Kilpatrick and Housing Next HERE.
