I really had no idea of what 2020 had in store when I wrote this last year - I just knew what I wanted to share with other #communitylandtrust leaders and advocates across the world.

“We must never forget the CLT was created out of necessity... collective ownership of land to support African-Americans living in the rural South. It was born out of the American Civil Rights Movement.”

Thanks @SenFettermanPA for your continuing support for #CommunityLandTrusts to achieve our @GroundedNetwork goal of #LastingAffordability at scale.
I promised to fight for places across the Commonwealth that have been left behind for too long—places like Meadville.
I’m proud to help their community land trust tackle the housing crisis head on.

"Supporters have put together a reform agenda of ways to make the program stronger and more widely available. [...] But criticism beyond accepted reform goals from within the affordable housing development side of the sector has been muted." @Shelterforce

Excited to launch the $40 million @amazon funded partnership of @GroundedNetwork with @NatlHsingTrust focused on increasing homeownership with #LastingAffordability in Nashville, Seattle and Arlington, Virginia

Don’t just “consider” and “examine” your organization’s commitment to #RacialEquity - DO something by taking significant actions that have measurable impacts.

Thanks to @Philanthropy for elevating the critical importance of creating homes with #lastingaffordabilty by various @GroundedNetwork members. More grant funders, financing and more public subsidies are needed to scale the proven success of our housing models.
Grant makers are backing innovative solutions to try to bolster the availability of affordable housing. Many see stable housing a critical to their work to improve education, health, and economic opportunity. phlnthrp.com/3HwoYTh

@Delta is totally failing to assist me in navigating their multiple delays of my morning flight to Minneapolis. Thus I missed my DC connection, now they won’t add me to a waiting list for the next flight because I don’t have preferred status??? I paid for this 🤷♂️🤷♂️ 🤷♂️🤷♂️
After 4 separate discussions with different @Delta airport gate staff, I finally got a seat on a plane. Why did they make it so hard??? #chargingmoreForLessService
Loved joining my brilliant colleagues @DrAkilahWB & @Seema_NYC for a great conversation focused on #liberation - hosted by @npquarterly's own @Steve_NPQ Great audience participation too!

Proud of the work @LabGov has been doing in Baton Rouge over the last 3 years applying our #cocity framework to equitably develop the 4-mile Plank Road area, a historic Black community. We have created a combined Community Land Trust and Bank. 👇

Our #SundayTODAY #LifeWellLived tribute to Charles Sherrod, an unsung leader in the American civil rights movement. He was 85 years old.

All of @GroundedNetwork is incredibly sad to learn of the passing of #communitylandtrust model founder, New Communities leader and Civil Rights Movement icon; Rev. Charles Sherrod. His great legacy lives on in our work & the communities we serve. washingtonpost.com/obituarie…
It may mean building to sell to the actual people who may live there, or to nonprofits or mixed-income neighborhood trusts or CLTs (any form of resident-controlled housing will do). shelterforce.org/2022/08/30/…

Why do @GroundedNetwork national members, partners and stakeholders promote and prioritize #communitycontrol of land & #LastingAffordability ?? @Richard_Florida explains an important part of the reason here
👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾
The pandemic helped export the sky-high housing values and steep rents of coastal hubs to other cities across the US.
