Join us on April 6th, as we convene diverse voices to share insights, best practices, and challenges around the tools and processes necessary to cultivate ecosystems of social change.

The Land Tenure and Building Neighborhood Capacity: A Community Land Trust Model for Trenton’s Capital City Farm event will serve as an opportunity to convene multi-sector stakeholders to explore the intersectionality of socio-spatial challenges. Such as generational wealth inequities created by Redlining and Urban Renewal policies, rising living expenses, coupled with land and construction costs outpacing public resources, which will reactivate a timely discussion on the value of models like Community Land Trusts and Cooperatives, to support equitable neighborhood development.
