Learn about more opportunities to connect, including the launch of a 4-Part Nature Walk series and our October’s monthly meeting Tuesday, October 21st. We also thank everyone who attended our Downtown Long Beach Community Walk, in partnership with the Black Neighborhood Tenant Council, a program of LiBRE and Black Lives Matter Long Beach. It was great to be in community with everyone!

We’re grateful for your support in our mission for affordable housing in Long Beach. A recap from August’s meeting: ORALE shared insights on protecting our immigrant community. Looking ahead, we’re excited to host Gabrielino/Tongva community leader, Virginia Carmelo, on September 16th and invite you to future community events.

Let’s connect this August! We’ve moved our Monthly Meeting to Thursday, August 21st and are hosting our first-ever Social Hour––Jazz Night at GoodTime on Thursday, August 28th. These are opportunities to deepen your connection to the work and celebrate the community making it happen.

“The Long Beach Community Land Trust, founded in 2023, advances this vision for community-led, permanently affordable housing, and challenges the displacement driven by speculative corporate developments. Continued support will turn this groundwork into permanently secure housing for generations to come, organizers added.”

“Local organizations like Long Beach Community Land Trust (CLT) are working towards creating new opportunities for affordable homeownership and stewarding land and housing, as a community.”

In July, we dug deep into Long Beach’s architectural roots and confronted how urban design has fueled inequity. But more importantly, we dreamed big and saw how Community Land Trusts can rewrite the story. Relive the moments from our gathering and get ready to build momentum with us in August!
