GARE Public Resources

Comprehensive plans are essential to guiding growth in our communities closing racial disparities in our housing and land use systems. Race Forward and GARE's latest policy brief presents case studies from local planning departments in the GARE Network working collaboratively with communities to reimagine housing systems rooted in justice and equity.

As local communities organize for transformative housing solutions, racial equity practitioners in local government are working to implement them effectively. The Root Solutions for Housing and Land Justice series of briefs, highlights these efforts – lifting up wins, presenting race-informed policies and plans that address root causes of racial disparities in housing and development, and offering community wealth models that can be adapted across contexts. Building on the analysis presented in Race Forward’s “Root Causes of Housing and Land Injustice” series, these briefs point toward concrete strategies for creating housing systems that work for ALL of us.

This resource supports community members seeking transformative housing solutions, government partners, and mission-aligned housing finance and development organizations. For additional examples, explore GARE’s repository of race-informed housing policies and plans.
