Thanks to all of our attendees! Our first event had a large turnout of activists, innovators, and stakeholders; we are grateful to each one of you for making it successful (link to summary video)

The community's investment in building and improving our neighborhoods to better fit our needs and values is inspiring. Taking initiative is very important, and we would like to spotlight some efforts that our guests shared with us! 

"We’re going to move into the basement of a single-family home! And we are going to do a better job of connecting with our neighbors."

"I would like to have an 'Affordable Landlord' group who rent below market e.g. 'give back by not taking.' Could also include homeowners who rent a room to 'Share this home,' 'Owners who share.'"

"We’re going to do a cool eco-pop top with a roof garden for rental, possibly to a co-op."

We have many options to get involved!
