RVP Recap: Photo Gallery and Session Materials
------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you all for joining us in Georgia; the time we spent in Atlanta and Albany was truly amazing! With approximately 1,400 attendees participating in RVP2019, sharing your time, experience and insights made our conference contributions considerable, and we are eternally grateful to the Center for Community Progress for a successful partnership. Conference session materials ([link removed]) are available for download from the RVP2019 conference website, as well as a full list of conference attendees ([link removed]) .

Here is a gallery with a few highlighted images from the week; you all are what made Georgia such a fantastic experience, and we look forward to seeing everyone meet us in Minnesota next year for Intersections 2020!

Attending Neighborworks 2020?

Join Proud Ground for a 20 Year Anniversary Celebration


This year, Proud Ground is celebrating twenty years of service as the Pacific North West’s largest Community Land Trust. Thanks in part to the leadership of Grounded Solutions Network/Northwest Community Land Trust Coalition; we have created over 300 permanently affordable homes throughout Oregon and SW Washington. We invite you to join us in celebrating our 20^th Anniversary. On Thursday, December 5^th from 6:00 – 8:00pm, Proud Ground’s community of homeowners, supporters, and advocates will come together at the Evergreen, 618 SE Alder Street in Portland, to celebrate our impact.

Our 20^th Year Anniversary Party will feature a hosted bar and hors d'oeuvres, live music, former Proud Ground leadership, and a live auction. Proud Ground events are designed to be informal and inclusive for guests and attendees of many different backgrounds. Our member-based ticket pricing of $75 for homeowners and donors includes you! Thanks to our title sponsor, State Farm, 100% of your ticket purchase will benefit Proud Ground homebuyers in achieving their dream of first-time homeownership and the family and community stability that follows.

For questions, please contact Proud Ground Deputy Director, Jackie Keogh at 503-493-0293 ext. 19 or [email protected].

**This event is being held the week prior to Neighborworks 2020, so additional travel and lodging arrangements will need to be made to accomodate**

Where we live matters.

** We bring together an extensive network of partners and member practitioners from local communities who have a deep understanding of best practices in community land trusts, shared equity housing, local housing policies such as inclusionary zoning, and more.

At Grounded Solutions Network, we know what policies and strategies work to build and preserve housing opportunities, and we help communities use them.
