Shelterforce is the only independent, non-academic online publication covering the worlds of community development, affordable housing, and neighborhood stabilization.Dedicated from the beginning to everyone working to empower and support low-income communities, Shelterforce provides a venue for conversations that need to be had—on topics from community planning to racial equity, housing affordability to homeownership, and the future of community development.Shelterforce supports and challenges the community development field. We provide insight on policy, stories about what works and what doesn’t, and connections to related work, such as community organizing, health, immigrant rights, arts and culture, and financial well-being. We interview HUD secretaries and resident organizers, and open our pages to those on the frontlines and those behind the scenes. We provide clear and understandable analysis of important policy issues to grassroots activists and practitioners, while channeling input from the grassroots to local, state, and national advocates and policymakers.Shelterforce is a nonprofit publication, published by the National Housing Institute and not beholden to a particular program, theory, approach, or constituency. Shelterforce is dedicated to being useful to readers and to fostering strong, vibrant, just, healthy places for everyone. Join the conversation— go to Shelerforce.org and visit our LinkedIn page.
