Ecosystem Stewards: Building the Infrastructure for Shared Ownership

The Center for Community Investment (CCI) released a case study on the Shared Ownership Center @ Nexus (SOC@N)!

CCI writes, “Every movement needs inspiration and infrastructure. In community-owned real estate, that infrastructure is built by ecosystem stewards: organizations that provide the expertise, financial support, and partnerships communities need to turn visions of ownership into real projects.”

“Over the last 20+ years, Nexus Community Partners has become a dynamic and nurturing ecosystem steward in the Twin Cities. Nexus works to foster conditions where ownership and self-determination can take root and grow, co-creating more liberated communities by strengthening leaders, cultivating community wealth, and stewarding the just distribution of resources. Through SOC@N, which dispatches technical and relational support like financing and building a team of professionals for individual deals, Nexus serves as a trusted partner to nurture the collective prosperity of its communities and strengthen the regional ownership economy.”
