Treno's Community Land Trust

from Talk Policy To Me Hosted by UC Berkeley's Goldman School of Public Policy and the Berkeley Institute for Young Americans

Home. It's one of those ideas that is core to us. But what if your home was gentrifying — becoming less affordable and recognizable with each day? This episode tells the story of Treno Morton, a young person who has set off to safeguard home not just for himself, but for his historic Black community displaced by systemic racism. Learn how he became one of the youngest leaders championing community land trusts in Canada. And join host Keyanna Ortiz-Cedeño to question whether collective ownership and community engagement can solve housing affordability.
