SUMMARY:Panel Discussion on Stewarding the Future: Youth Power and Leadership in Community Land Trust Practice

Core to the CLT mission is the stewardship of community assets for both present and future generations. Responding to today’s pressing social\, economic\, and environmental challenges—particularly those posed by climate change—requires listening to\, and raising up\, the voices of those who will be most affected: our youth. Engaging young people in community-owned land and housing will be crucial for building sustainable communities and advancing the stewardship mission of CLTs. This webinar was an engaging conversation with CLT practitioners and two youth leaders. Together\, we explored questions such as: \n\n\n\n\nHow are CLTs involving youth representatives in decision-making?\n\n\n\nHow are the concerns of youth members of CLTs shaping CLT practice?\n\n\n\nHow can we better engage youth and highlight their role in shaping the future of communities?\n\n\n\n\nPanelists\n\n\n\n\nAshley Allen serves as the Executive Director of the Houston Community Land Trust.

By linking sustainability in the built environment to the creation of permanently affordable housing\, CLTs can simultaneously respond to the housing and climate crisis in ways that ensure justice and equity. \n\n\n\nThis 75 minute webinar will highlight innovative CLT approaches to deliver just and equitable solutions that respond to these challenges by featuring two exemplary CLT initiatives from Europe and the United States: The Upcycling Trust\, a partnership between five European CLTs and local municipal authorities in France; and the Sustained Legacy Project from City of Lakes CLT in the city of Minneapolis\, MN. The Upcycling Trust partnership works at delivering sustainable housing renovations while bringing existing housing into community ownership. The Sustained Legacy Project from City of Lakes CLT uses the CLT as a way to assist low-income elderly homeowners facing significant housing rehabilitation challenges while deeding the land to the CLT. Our presenters will provide overviews of their respective projects\, while addressing the specific challenges they face and the strategies they employ to overcome these obstacles\, providing valuable insights for practitioners and policymakers alike. After the presentations\, there will also be a short Q&A to give you the opportunity to ask questions to our panelists. \n\n\n\nPresenters\n\n\n\nJeanne Mosseray\, Post-Doctoral Researcher\, Cosmopolis Centre for Urban Research\, Vrije Universiteit Brussel\n\n\n\nJeanne was trained as an anthropologist and pursued studies in Urbanism and Strategic Planning.
