CLT 102: Restorative Economics and Decommodifying Housing – 05/04/22 3pm
Join the South Bay Community Land Trust for an interactive presentation and panel on restorative economics and how we are decommodifying housing here in San Jose! Community land trusts are a transformative strategy to taking land off the speculative market to provide permanently affordable housing and stable communities for low-income tenants and unhoused community members. Come learn how you can be part of creating resilient futures for all through our first capital campaign!
Santa Clara is at the seat of one of the world’s largest and most productive economies, and we can utilize the tools of the economy to repair & heal communities, and make dignified housing for all a reality. To address the root of homelessness and housing insecurity, we believe a discussion that centers housing solutions around restorative economics is vital in order to center BIPOC communities that have been marginalized and oppressed by our current housing market. Our event’s objective is to unite community members around a vision of cooperation, inclusion, and abundance in order to organize and bring forth a shared vision of prosperity, self-determination, and collective political power when implementing housing solutions. By sharing about our current campaign, participants can learn how they can invest in the SBCLT to preserve and decommodify our first building to permanently house San Jose veterans.
