Stable Ground launches

We’re excited to announce the launch of Stable Ground: Building Organizational Power for Housing Justice!

Stable Ground is an organizational capacity-building program facilitated by The Alliance with the goal of strengthening the ecosystem of BIPOC-led and centered organizing throughout the Twin Cities region. Through a community-led review committee process, organizations were selected to receive $50k to support their work and to participate in an organizing learning cohort.

Our inaugural organizing cohort includes five community organizations:

• African Career Education and Resource Inc. (ACER)
• Anything Helps
• Aurora St. Anthony Neighborhood Development Corporation
• Phumulani 
• Pueblos de Lucha y Esperanza 

Through this program, we will support organizing and advocacy aimed at pursuing systems changes that increase housing stability and prevent homelessness for people across the seven-county Twin Cities region. 

 The cohort will be focusing on learning:

• Deepening engagement with communities
• Building community leadership
• Navigating housing systems, influencing key decision-makers and institutions
• History of structural racism and inequities in our housing system
• Developing organizing and advocacy strategies for housing justice 

We look forward to sharing more updates on Stable Ground with you in the future!
