Together, we can tackle our most challenging problems. This week I was inspired not by the lofty goals, illuminating research or the theory of change but by the practical, tactical, gritty commitment to get it done. Thanks to the City and partners for hosting the first affordable housing week at city hall and to so many partners in other rooms working on policy change at the state level. A few reflections in the blog linked below.
Mayor Andre Dickens calls #affordablehousing our love language, and we couldn't agree more! We're proud partners with organizations like Atlanta Housing, Invest Atlanta and Georgia Department of Community Affairs in advancing solutions. Our commitment: Connect resources, remove barriers and accelerate progress. Together, let's build a better Atlanta!

Why Community Land Trusts Matter for Our Future I had the chance to attend LISC San Antonio’s event on community ownership, and it really hit home how important Community Land Trusts (CLTs) are for fair and just development. Julia Duranti-Martínez from LISC NYC talked about how community ownership can give people the power to stop displacement and keep local businesses and organizations in place. It’s about helping BIPOC-led businesses, and community groups have a real shot at staying in their neighborhoods by owning affordable spaces. The panel, featuring experts like Juleny Santa Cruz, M.Ed. (ROC USA), Crystal Requejo (MEXICAN AMERICAN UNITY COUNCIL, INC), and Nadia Mavrakis (Culturingua) moderated by Julia, discussed how CLTs allow communities to protect their spaces, build wealth, and shape their own future. This conversation was a great reminder that ownership isn’t just about land or buildings—it’s about empowerment and economic justice. If we want lasting change, we need more CLTs in our communities.

Yesterday, March 3rd, representatives of California Community Reinvestment Corporation virtually attended the National Housing Conference (NHC)’s “2024 Solutions for Housing Communications” convening. The event featured panels with pro-housing thought leaders, who joined to discuss the importance of accurate, subversive, and poignant storytelling when building public support for housing. Pro-housing advocacy must contend with the misinformed narratives on risk, public feelings of helplessness, and personal apathies that surround housing activism to mobilize all hands available to address the shortage. Outreach efforts must also take comprehensive steps to engage diverse perspectives, with the end goal being to make the fight as collective as possible. Everyone has stock in an equitably housed nation, and engaging with solutions today will invariably improve the future for all. The creation of adequate housing supply is still tentative, but CCRC is committed to both advocacy and action in the continued fight for an equitable housing market. Follow our work to finance affordable housing throughout the state of California on our website at e-ccrc.org/news or here on LinkedIn! #affordablehousing #NHC #SolutionsforHousingCommunications

Did you know that NLC launched the Municipalities Reimagining Community Safety (MRCS) initiative in 2022? With reducing crime being a political priority for many Americans, the MRCS initiative was created to invest in local action to reduce and prevent violence while advancing new visions for safety in communities. One of these visions includes Group Violence Intervention (GVI), an impactful strategy to reimagine public safety. So what does GVI look like?
