Manohar Patole, Co-City fellow and project manager at Co-City Baton Rouge, will be the guest speaker for the webinar titled “Community Land Trusts: Affordable Housing Strategies for Economic and Racial Justice,” scheduled for March 12. He will present the ongoing work and projects in progress in Baton Rouge.

At a moment during which no state has an adequate supply of extremely low-income rental housing, innovative solutions in shared equity housing are helping to cultivate meaningful, lasting social change. As active practitioners in the world of Community Land Trusts, our three guest speakers’ unique experiences—derived from legal, administrative, and urban planning perspectives—are invaluable in guiding the work of housing attorneys, planners, and lay advocates alike. This webinar will cover tangible strategies for shared equity housing implementation, tools for effective participatory governance frameworks, and potential institutional or systemic barriers.
