About Trust Neighborhoods

Trust Neighborhoods is a nonprofit dedicated to helping neighborhoods facing gentrification fight displacement and direct their own investment. Our team is motivated by reversing decades of unjust and racist disinvestment in our centrally-located neighborhoods and a belief that a different future for neighborhoods is possible, necessary, and urgent. We believe that there can be more neighborhoods that are diverse, mixed-income, and deliver opportunity for everyone.

Trust Neighborhoods works with existing neighborhood-based organizations across the US in communities at risk of gentrifying and helps them secure affordable housing and retail before pricing pressure displaces renters. Core to Trust Neighborhoods’ work is creating the Mixed-Income Neighborhood Trust (MINT) model. Trust Neighborhoods supports neighborhood-based organizations in launching MINTs that use outside investment to buy, renovate, build, and manage high-quality, affordable rental housing and retail to preserve affordability, prevent displacement, and enable community governance.
