Resident Led Fund
Background:
The Center for Economic Democracy, Right to the City Boston , and Boston Ujima Project, have contracted with the Innovative Stable Housing Initiative to design and pilot a resident led, democratized grantmaking process for the Resident Led Fund of the Innovative Stable Housing Initiative.
Boston residents who are experiencing housing instability are uniquely positioned to shape the programs that serve them.
Specifically, this process will engage the members of the Boston Ujima Project and the Right to the City coalition who identify as housing unstable to inform and imagine how the community control of funding that is led and implemented by working class residents of color could challenge housing displacement and instability in Boston. The process will produce a full proposal to ISHI that outlines a resident-led implementation plan through which hospital community benefit dollars can be allocated. The design process will be an eight month process from September 2019 - May 2020.
