During National Fair Housing Month, revisit AFN's brief, Heirs' Property: Acting to Preserve Wealth. Heirs’ property issues continue to be deeply entrenched in Black, Latino, and other socioeconomically disadvantaged communities across the country. Philanthropy has a vital role to play in tackling these issues and, in doing so, contributing to greater economic security in these communities. Greater philanthropic involvement in this work is imperative to the preservation and stewardship of land and other property that has been passed down, and continues to be passed down, among families in disadvantaged communities.

How can policy help tenants purchase their homes? ?? In a growing number of cities across the United States, housing advocates are getting laws passed that give tenants the ability to purchase, either directly or through a nonprofit, their own apartments. Increasingly, these policies are emerging as a powerful anti-displacement strategy. But these policies are hard-won, and not always easy to implement. Even in cities where tenants have established this ability in law, they often have to stave off efforts to dial back these legislative gains. In this 90-minute webinar, cosponsored and co-moderated by NPQ and Shelterforce, a panel of folks who have been reporting on, fighting for, and using these policies will offer their perspectives on this powerful tool. Tune in on Thursday, June 20th, 2:00pm - 3:30pm ET! #DAWI #NPQ

Last night, something extraordinary happened in Allegheny County. Over 160 community members stood up for human services, speaking passionately before the County Council. The public comment session stretched until nearly 10 PM—and here's the remarkable part: community members, service providers, their clients, and homeowners all voiced support for County Executive Innamorato's proposed 2.2 millage tax increase. This isn't just a budget vote. This is a community declaring its commitment to protecting the most resilient. At stake: critical services that support: - 16,000 families - 5,700 youth in out-of-school programs - 1,000 at-risk older youth - 3,400 adults needing emergency shelter - 9,000 individuals receiving behavioral health support Every $1 of County funding leverages $4 in state and federal resources. Every $1 cut means a $5 reduction in total human services. This is not only the ethical choice, it is also financially savvy. Partner organizations: Our ecosystem is interconnected. What impacts one, impacts us all. Even if you are not directly affected by this vote... Take Action: Visit https://lnkd.in/enSNjnBp and amplify these resources. Share them with your networks, boards, and stakeholders. Together, we can ensure Allegheny County continues to invest in its most fundamental asset: its people.
