We need this in NYS and particularly in NYC! A community investment trust for Portland, Ore. residents to ‘buy back the block’ brookings.edu/research/a-com… via @BrookingsInst

As we continue to share about our neighborhood, our focus today is our friends at Mercy Corps' East Portland Community Investment Trust at Plaza 122 (SE 122nd and Market Street).

Community ownership of commercial property remains rare...but across the US, it's increasingly seen as a vital strategy to support #BIPOCbusiness ownership: bit.ly/3ZHMkLP @InvestCIT @LISC_HQ #CommunityOwnership

I recently had the chance to visit a new community investment trust forming in Albany, NY. There’s already 14 community-serving small business and social services orgs in this office/retail building, including a church.

Replying to @FidelityChrtbl
A7- Mercy Corps launched a first of its kind, community investment trust @InvestCIT to bring wealth generating opportunities to those historically excluded here in the US. This offers a long-term path to ownership of local commercial real-estate at a buy-in as low as $10/month!

@InvestCIT offers a long-term path to collective, communal ownership of real-estate for investors from $10-$100/month, right here, in our neighborhood. This builds the possibility to strengthen communities and create empowered lives.

ALT Top part of the image is white text on a black background that reads “Mercy Corps' East Portland Community Investment Trust at Plaza 122 is working in our neighborhood to strengthen communities and create empowered lives.” The black background fades down into a photo in the lower third of the image, of a painted mural that depicts six people of varying ages and ethnicities. Painted letters on the mural read “Hello Neighbor.”

So proud of this project. Took a long time to incubate and but is now a reality all over. 👏👏 to Portland visionary John Haines. npr.org/2023/03/05/116119238…

Community ownership is a critical tool for just #commdev. A new @LISCResearch report explores how community ownership of commercial spaces revitalizes distressed corridors, combats speculation, maintains community-serving spaces,+ builds community wealth. lisc.org/our-resources/resou…

With investments from the U.S. Treasury under #ECIP, @Beneficialstate is able to make sophisticated loans to entities that represent collective communal ownership like @InvestCIT. It’s an experiment in wealth-building that also makes good business sense bit.ly/3Kk6OnY

It may not look like much, but the thing is, around 400 people who live in the four zip codes around this little shopping plaza collectively own it as investors in the East Portland Community Investment Trust, @InvestCIT. – at Portland, OR

Building wealth is building community. 🧱
Real estate is the biggest factor in the widening racial wealth gap in the U.S. This is why community investors like Jennifer and Yonas are working w/ @InvestCIT to take matters into their own hands. 🤲🏽

In Portland, the East Portland @InvestCIT earlier this year paid out its fourth annual dividend to its community owners, and recently added a bit of green infrastructure to its property.

For as little as $10 a month, people who live in Kansas City's Historic Northeast neighborhood could be a part of the Community Investment Trust. kshb.com/news/local-news/com…
