During this week’s “Tenant Talk Live” call, attendees heard from Dee Ross, the founder and chief operating officer of The Ross Foundation, an Indiana-based non-profit organization. Dee discussed his experience growing up on the Far East Side of Indianapolis, where he saw how a lack of community resources and engagement led to increased crime and drug use and worsening poverty. Now a respected leader in his community, Dee recounted for attendees how he had founded The Ross Foundation and built connections and relationships and discussed ways advocates can push for tenants’ rights in their communities.
