Announcing Our New Anti-displacement Toolkit
We’re excited to announce the publication of our Small Business Anti-displacement Toolkit, which collects more than 20 anti-displacement tools in one place.
The brown paper (elsewhere known as white paper) section provides an overview of small businesses and their role in neighborhoods; discusses the forces that lead to commercial gentrification and the effect of small business displacement on neighborhoods; and looks at the impact of COVID-19 on POC- and immigrant-owned small businesses.
The toolkit section explains how anti-displacement strategies work, the tools needed to implement them, and how they are already being used in diverse neighborhoods. We also offer recommendations for how small business leaders can push policies and practices that protect the long-term viability and health of small businesses.
