Training: Securing Sustainable Funding for Land Banks

Predictable, sufficient funding is a persistent challenge for land banks. As we anticipate shifts in federal support and agency staffing that may affect state and local budgets, establishing sustainable financial mechanisms to support land banks is more critical than ever.

In this training, land bank leaders from Ohio and Michigan will share how they established more sustainable funding streams, and what land banks in other communities can learn from their efforts.

• Hear about the funding mechanics that support land banks in three different states
• Learn the strategies, challenges, and setbacks these land banks faced in their journey to obtain more predictable funding year-to-year
• Understand actionable next steps towards securing sustainable land bank funding in your municipality or state
