Description

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. We talk to JaTawn Robinson, who found housing affordability by purchasing a community land trust house through the Atlanta nonprofit Atlanta Land Trust. Plus, we explore the legacy that inspired this model: our nation’s appalling history of racist housing policy. What’s Next ATL is powered by the Atlanta Regional Commission and hosted by Kate Sweeney. More at whatsnextatl.org/podcast.
