A Keynote address from Andre Perry
Mr. Perry’s recent scholarship at Brookings Institute has analyzed Black-majority cities and institutions in America, focusing on issues of race and structural inequality, education, and economic inclusion via valuable assets worthy of increased investment. He will introduce and explore our theme, Policy. Practice. Power., and discuss housing with lasting affordability as a critical component for advancing structural changes in the housing market.

Research shows access to safe, affordable housing supports people’s physical and mental health. The health care system has an important role in connecting patients to housing, but our affordable housing programs themselves need substantial additional resources. Learn how and why healthcare investments can support CLTs and shared equity models and what can be done to create a healthcare system partnership of your own.

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.
