SBAN supports case studies about small business anti-displacement strategies and how advocates are implementing these strategies in communities across the country and abroad. Case study authors learn from other awardees, receive consultant support from SBAN, and present their work to the network and other stakeholders at SBAN events.

Our most recent case studies examine how climate change is affecting small businesses and document strategies to prevent climate displacement in four cities. Previous case studies outlined community ownership efforts to create and preserve affordable space for small businesses, support neighborhood stability, and maintain diverse local economies. Our inaugural set of case studies explored a range of anti-displacement strategies and produced a companion documentary film, We’re Still Here.
