Community Land Trusts are a growing movement and effective alternative to the overpowering private real estate market. The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the fragility of the housing markets and their declining public housing options. Organizers and activists have rallied behind the Community Land Trust model to build housing equity and sustainable community ownership over land.

This panel discussion brings together Community Land Trust organizers operating in New York City to share their experience and insights on this grassroots model for affordable housing.

 

GUEST SPEAKERS:

Tom Angotti, Board Member of Cooper Square CLT

Athena Bernkopf, Project Manager for East Harlem-El Barrio CLT

Memo Salazar, Co-Chair of Western Queens CLT

Boris Santos, Board Treasurer of East New York CLT

 

MODERATOR:

Mia Charlene White, Assistant Professor of Geography and Environmental Studies

 

This event is free and open to students, faculty, staff, and the general public. We hope you can join us!
