Jill coordinates area churches seeking ways to retain Pasadena’s
racial and economic mix, and to house Pasadena’s 1,000 homeless
and address urban violence. The Legacy Of Housing Heroes—
Transforming Our Communities With Affordable Housing. We will
tour a brief history of U.S. housing policy and housing heroes over
the past 100 years, explore a theology of housing, and eleven ways
that various denominations and groups have created affordability
including Cohousing, Community Land Trusts, Cooperative Housing,
YouthBuild and more. Participants will gain tools in how to evaluate
the various models and discuss which models might be appropriate
for their local context.
