Scenario

When community groups claim inclusivity while centering privilege

Our neighborhood association says we want affordable housing but when specific proposals come up, the homeowners dominate every conversation and renters like me get talked over or dismissed, even though we're the ones who understand housing insecurity.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
