Our Housing Justice Vision
Housing is a human right, and homeownership shouldn't be out of reach. We're researching and developing community-owned housing models that build wealth while keeping neighborhoods affordable.
Through cooperative ownership models and community land trusts, we're working to create pathways to homeownership that serve our community's needs and close the racial wealth gap.
