The New Hood, founded by Talib Hudson, empowers communities by developing, identifying, and elevating policy analysis and perspectives of people from the hood, with a focus on the future of the hood. The New Hood's focus is Community Healing Policy, which recognizes the intersection of policy and the historical collective traumas that Black and Brown communities face. It looks beyond treating the symptoms of collective trauma alone, and instead seeks to build long-term strength, vitality, and wholeness for communities unaccustomed to such privilege. This New Hood examines the possibility for public policy to address community healing.
