Expanding Leadership and Impact through Community-Led Housing Development
Historically, both affordable and market-rate developers have often failed to include and amplify the expertise of low-income and unhoused community members in development processes. Venice Community Housing’s community-led design and development approach seeks to address this dynamic and ensure that each project reflects lower-income communities' visions, centers tenant leadership, and enhances community decision-making power. The community-led approach also establishes formal partnerships that equally share financial resources and knowledge.
