Our vision is to create community-owned and governed spaces that are free from speculative market pressures and nurture the local community and ecology. This initiative seeks to foster community self-determination and stewardship by developing real estate practices that promote connection, liberation, and care. Ultimately, it intends to provide secure access to land and property for all, especially those systematically excluded, and inspire new models of non-extractive relationships with communities and the Earth. We intend this to serve as a model for development elsewhere and will openly share our process and resources with the movement.
