What is Gentrification? How Does it Affect Small Businesses?
Watch our video to learn more about gentrification, what it looks like, and how it impacts communities and their small businesses.
Small businesses are a vital part of economically healthy, socially vibrant, and environmentally sustainable communities.
They are also highly vulnerable to displacement and financial stress when neighborhoods gentrify. BIPOC- and immigrant-owned businesses are particularly at risk. COVID-19 and the resulting economic collapse have further exposed and heightened these vulnerabilities.
The Small Business Anti-Displacement Network provides small business leaders with the tools and capacity to help businesses stay in place.
