2026 Site Visits: San Juan & Los Angeles

Mercado la Paloma, a model for providing affordable small business rents in response to climate investments in Los Angeles.

 

In 2026, SBAN case study awardees Taller Comunidad La Goyco in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Strategic Actions for a Just Economy (SAJE) in Los Angeles hosted site visits for SBAN members, offering a first-hand look at how they are working with small businesses and residents on anti-displacement efforts related to climate change. Read about their case studies.
We visited neighborhoods that are home to diverse communities, heard from small business owners and other community stakeholders, saw how climate-related anti-displacement tools were being implemented, and learned how coordinated community efforts and equitable planning strategies are preserving local heritage and economic strength.
