On January 25th and 26th, Urban@UW hosted a virtual workshop that brought together researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and community partners to elevate key perspectives and facilitate cross-boundary discussions and action around the capacity for people to stay in place and stay in the community in the face of displacement.
Led by Urban@UW Faculty Director Rachel Berney, and Urban@UW Director, Jen Davison, the workshop intended to develop a collective understanding of the current challenges of anti-displacement and belonging, connect regional scholars and community partners doing important work on these issues, foster new ideas and new collaborations for advancing understanding and solutions for anti-displacement and belonging in the Seattle region, & share resources, such as funding opportunities, across this community of practice.
The 2-day workshop included presentations in the ongoing work of community organizations including CACE21, The Nehemiah Initiative, The Community Land Conservancy, and others, and in-depth conversations to understand and map out next steps for this important work. Urban@UW is working on an in-depth write-up of the event, to be shared soon.
