Are you familiar with the challenges of finding, maintaining, or paying for housing in the Eugene-Springfield area? Do you have insights into the local need for housing, human services, community, and economic development programs? Please help identify our local housing and community needs for low- and moderate-income people by completing a short survey.

Now more than ever there is an urgency to use our voice to advocate and advise our policymakers for a just economy for all. Yesterday a group of community developers spent time on the Hill meeting with Senate and House members offices to express the importance of supporting legislation that levels the playingfield for low to moderate income households. Advocacy points: - Modernization of the Community Reinvestment Act. This Act created in the 70’s is in need of an update and expansion to respond to change in market conditions. - Support of President Biden’s 2025 budget. The President's budget includes historic investments in housing totaling $258 billion that would build or preserve over 2 million affordable housing units in the midst of a historic housing crisis.

Why do we need good housing data? Experts across the board say it’ll help us build, implement, and manage policies to address the housing crisis!

Join us Tuesday Sept. 17 @ 12:00p (Jamaica Time) for the second conversation in our captureland series. https://lnkd.in/ehmCvCGB Self-built or self-help housing refers to dwellings to which the inhabitants have contributed all or most of the construction input themselves. By the 1990s, more than two-thirds of the population of Montego Bay and half of Spanish Town fell into this category. Island-wide, the state estimates that over 20% of the population is living “informally”. Despite this legacy of people incrementally improving and expanding their accommodations over time, state resources have gone almost entirely toward facilitating the private housing market through the financing of long-term mortgages for sprawling suburban housing units. This option has always been out of reach of Jamaicans most in need of housing. In this webinar, we explore how a self-built community in Puerto Rico achieved land tenure security through communal land ownership. Residents of the Caño Martín Peña created the first community land trust in Latin America, ensuring affordability and protection from displacement and gentrification. Rejecting the approach of individual titles, communal ownership has been an instrument of emancipation and community empowerment.
