On March 13, 2025 the People’s Land and Housing Alliance hosted a webinar on how tenants are breaking up with their landlords and creating permanently affordable, community-controlled homes. We talked about how to shift from a profit-driven system of housing to one that is rooted in dignity and prioritizes taking care of each other and the land. We heard from tenants from Berkeley, San Jose, and San Francisco who organized together and recently purchased their apartment buildings with the help of Community Land Trusts (CLTs).
