Ed Braxton

Program Officer| United Way of Greater Los Angeles

“Because many of the drivers of homelessness are rooted in racist systems, we must work to dismantle and reconfigure those systems through an explicitly anti-racist approach.”

Ed is an experienced professional in the community development field. For over six years, he has worked collaboratively with a diverse range of stakeholders in New York City and Los Angeles. His work has centered on designing grant opportunities for a variety of programs. These programs have focused on economic mobility, financial empowerment, public housing preservation, community organizing, and affordable housing capacity building.

Currently, Ed is channeling his efforts into addressing issues of racial equity and socioeconomic justice in Greater Los Angeles. He approaches these challenges through the lens of strategic investments, a testament to his commitment to creating positive, sustainable change in the community.
