THE PROBLEM

Our communities are under pressure.

Concentrated ownership, speculative investment, and extractive management are driving up costs, displacing residents, and draining wealth from our neighborhoods.

Corporate Consolidation

Large, for-profit owners control more real estate, prioritizing returns over community well-being.

Out-of-State Speculation

Investors buy properties as assets, not as homes or community resources, driving up prices.

Extractive Management

Short-term decisions and cost-cutting reduce quality, affordability, and stability.

Community Displacement

Rising rents, loss of affordable spaces, and less say in decisions that shape our neighborhoods.

Solution Background
THE SOLUTION

Community ownership builds a better future.

Through real estate cooperatives, we keep wealth local, create lasting affordability, and ensure communities have a voice in their future.
