Hi John,

There are few things in our society as important to us as the place we live — both the physical dwelling and the broader community we’re situated in. Whether we rent or own, our homes should offer stability, safety, and a space for our families and neighbors to thrive. 

This isn’t the case for many folks across the country, whether due to skyrocketing rents or housing prices, displacement and evictions, or simply living far from the things we need. The reality is: our housing system is shaped by forces outside of our control. For decades, real estate corporations have turned our basic need into a profit model. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We can create housing for the public good — what many people call social housing.

Join us next month for the release of Housing for the People: How Local Governments are Building Social Housing Solutions for Public Good. Together with Local Progress Impact Lab and PolicyLink, we’ve developed a new toolkit that delves into social housing experiments happening across the country. Register to hear from housing organizers and policymakers about how we move from a profit-driven housing model towards a system that truly meets peoples’ needs.

• WHEN: Thursday, January 23rd, 2025 at 1pm Eastern
• WHERE: Zoom (register here)
• HOSTED BY: Local Progress Impact Lab, PolicyLink, and PowerSwitch Action

At its heart, social housing is about collective care of our land and homes. As people become even more fed up with a system designed to benefit corporations, cities across the US are experimenting with ways to put housing back in the hands of our communities. 

This webinar is intended for elected officials, government staff, housing organizers, and anyone passionate about transforming our housing system. Please spread the word, and I hope you’ll join us!
