2022 Impact Report

Development on public land should:

• Prioritize long-term public benefits over short-term speculative profits 

• Center the needs of low and moderate-income communities, especially historically impacted neighborhoods

• Promote walkable, transit-rich communities where everyone has easy access to jobs, green space, schools, grocery stores, and health care

• Ensure local stakeholders have a right to remain in the communities they’ve built, and eliminate displacement 

• Create deeply affordable housing to stabilize, diversify and enrich our communities 

• Promote climate resilience, environmental sustainability and utility justice

To meet these goals, decisions around public land must:

• Provide transparent, accessible and accountable legislative, administrative and community engagement processes

• Be guided by a comprehensive strategy to ensure equitable access to public land

• Empower community stakeholders, including low-income homeowners, renters, and small business owners, with decision-making roles in what happens in their neighborhoods 

• Intentionally include local community organizations, businesses and institutions as partners in development, implementation and monitoring

• Recognize the importance of adaptability and continue to shift as the environment shifts
