Watch this space for additional opportunities to get involved with the Anti-Displacement Plan and Community Wealth Building Study.
Current events
Community Dinner and Open House
Join us for an upcoming dinner and a public open house to discuss the City of Saint Paul's Anti-Displacement and Community Wealth Building Study:
So far, the study:
- identified displacement trends,
- engaged residents and businesses on issues important to them,
- evaluated existing anti-displacement and wealth building programs, and
- developed a menu of possible strategies to lessen displacement and build wealth.
Come and inform the Anti-Displacement and Community Wealth Building Study by giving us your feedback on what strategies you think Saint Paul should consider to support homeownership, new housing, housing affordability and renter protections.
