If you’re a homeowner, much of your house’s value comes from the land it sits on. That’s the fact that drives community land trusts, a strategy to fight gentrification that’s gaining traction. In this episode, we’ll talk to JaTawn Robinson, who found housing affordability by purchasing a community land trust house through the Atlanta nonprofit Atlanta Land Trust. Plus, we’ll explore the legacy that inspired this model: our nation’s appalling history of racist housing policy.
