After years of grassroots activism, the city has found success in addressing historical housing discrimination through community land trusts. When Sanchez-Gonzalez was 14, he first learned about community land trusts through Free Your Voice, a youth-led activist group at his school, Benjamin Franklin High. After years of struggle, community land trust housing is slated for construction in Sanchez-Gonzalez’s neighborhood, and comes with other benefits besides being available at below-market rates. In March 2021, the fund finally made its first distribution of $2.25 million to community land trusts to create 26 units of affordable housing. Campbell became interested in community land trusts when she was a 15-year-old fighting against the construction of an incinerator 2 miles away from her home.
