Still We Rise

After a year and a half that none of us could have predicted, and the repeated racial injustices that brought this country to its knees, we have all been challenged to reimagine how we approach every aspect of our lives, including our work to create more just and equitable communities. As a “change association,” this is our challenge and an opportunity to recalibrate how we serve our members, who share the common goal of ensuring everyone has an affordable place called home. We hold space for the events and conditions that got us here and still commit to the work moving forward. We remain dedicated to convening, educating and activating our membership collective, centering racial equity in all that we do. As we become stronger, so do our communities. Join us on the path as we learn from each other, build connections and agitate for brighter days ahead.

Convener Providing space and place for cultivation of critical partnerships in support of our mission.	Educator High-quality trainings and cross-sector, cross-border learnings to ensure our member’s success.	Activator Leveraging the power of our member base to influence affordable housing advocacy and policies in our region.
