Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Low-income communities and communities of color have faced years of structural discrimination in public policies and programs. Disinvestment, redlining, inequitable distribution of resources, and ongoing racial animus continue to plague many places and result in poor, unsafe, and unaffordable housing, lack of jobs or access to work, ineffective schools, inequitable access to health care, among other outcomes of the long history of discrimination

Shelterforce
Shelterforce is a social justice media organization covering the policy and practice of community development, affordable housing, and neighborhood organizing. Written for practitioners, advocates, and policymakers, Shelterforce offers how-to articles, news, policy analysis, stories of successes (and failures) from across the country, and a forum for debate on challenging issues. Shelterforce.org contains over 4,000 indexed articles and is updated multiple times per week. We also publish a weekly e-newsletter, and a quarterly print magazine.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
To strengthen the work of advocates, professionals, policymakers, funders, investors, and others working to address these issue by reporting on best practices and new, effective programs.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Since 1975, we have been the original voice for community development, supporting the diverse field of organizations working in low-income communities to create positive change.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have an accomplished staff of writers and editors who are also fully engaged in the broad field of community development. We launched our print publication in 1975, we were one of the first social justice publication on the website in 1994, and began a weekly e-newsletter in 2011.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Over the years, our work has lain the ground of the increased popularity of community land trusts to preserve affordable housing, helped launch the movement of nonprofits to purchase nonperforming mortgages in low-income communities to preserve homeownership, and introduced to the community development field ways in which to work with health care institutions to address the social determinants of health.
