We analyze existing research, produce original research, and gather data about the impact of gentrification on small businesses and the efficacy of strategies to keep businesses strong and in place. We also examine the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on neighborhood businesses owned by immigrants and people of color in gentrifying neighborhoods.

We publish and highlight research and data in several forms:
