The first phase of the Stable Integrated Communities Study was completed in the Fall and continues to create interest and impact throughout the region.  Presentations of the study's results, funded by the Wilder Foundation through Cincinnatus Association, were made at public venues throughout the area in December in the form of a PowerPoint presentation entitled, "Hidden Treasures: Hamilton County's Stable Integrated Communities."  

The full text of the study report may be viewed through this website.

Brandon Wiers responded quickly to a Community Forum article on diversity (Cincinnati Enquirer, 12/16/07).  His letter to the editor applauded the column and referenced our Stable Integrated Communities study.  Previously, Krista Ramsey, who wrote the story and is also on their Editorial Board, had received our press release on the study.

In December, Dr. Wiers gave talks to the Faith Community Alliance, the Cincinnati Human Relations Commission, the Cincinnati Area Board of Realtors (with Al DeJarnette as co-presenter), and the Affordable Housing Advocates Board of Directors.  He also communicated the study to the Agenda 360 Urban Renaissance and Livable Communities Action Team.
