Recommendations

• Housing affordability

• #1 priority

• Immediate and intentional action necessary to prevent further displacement

• Begin with community education and organization from existing leaders so that current residents understand the strategies needed to ensure their ability to stay

• Once the community is empowered enough to advocate for and manage anti-gentrification initiatives, I would recommend

• inclusionary zoning that requires a certain percentage of housing to be affordable to low-income households

• mixture of land trusts, rent controls, and housing choice voucher acceptance

• The goal here would be to encourage a mixed-income neighborhood where low-income people would be able to comfortably live and build wealth in one place in the long-term
