Grassroots Community Housing Summit
Want to learn about grassroots housing solutions emerging across Indiana?
Join us March 8th in Indianapolis for a one-day summit to learn about all aspects of developing permanently affordable resident-led housing projects. Connect and collaborate with peers from across the state and learn from experts in community land trusts, housing cooperatives, real estate, finance, law, construction, organizational governance, and more. We want to empower new and existing groups with the tools and relationships they need to develop housing solutions like cooperatives and land trusts.
As housing needs continue to grow more pressing, let’s work together to cultivate the expertise and support networks to help communities develop creative, sustainable, and locally-adapted housing solutions.
