Reviews & Endorsements
“Homes & Hands is a refreshingly optimistic view of what nonprofit and community groups can do to stabilize housing costs, develop local leadership and provide homeownership to residents in low-income neighborhoods.”—Bish Sanyal, professor, Department of Urban Studies and Planning, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
“We
frequently show Homes & Hands to groups of neighborhood
residents and find it never fails to move and inspire people who
tend to feel disenfranchised and left out of the planning process.
They see that they can actually take matters into their own hands
and have an impact on their communities.” —Frank Herrera, planner, Northeast Neighborhood Alliance Community Land Corporation, Rochester, New York
“The video is a terrific teaching resource for undergraduate and graduate courses in urban studies, public policy and community development.”
—William M. Rohe, professor, department of city and regional planning, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
“The principles embodied in community land trusts and brought to life in this powerful film are lessons that should be incorporated into all federal, state and municipal housing initiatives.”
—Rachel B. Bratt, professor and chair, department of urban and environmental policy, Tufts University
“This excellent video is ideal for nonprofits, community planners and housing leaders who are working to create affordable housing and ensure that such housing remains affordable years from now.”
—Shelterforce: The Journal of Affordable Housing and Community Building
