April 2025 Training: Land Banks in Rehab and New Construction

On April 1 at 12:00pm ET, join Center for Community Progress’ technical assistance senior advisor, Kim Graziani and Joe van Dyk, Executive Director of the South Suburban Land Bank and Development Authority, to discuss land banks in new construction and rehab. As the land banking field evolves, so has the range of programming that land banks undertake to meet community needs, and today, a growing number of land banks now directly engage in the rehab and new construction of quality, affordable housing. Attend this training to explore varying rehab and new construction strategies, including direct operations, contractor partnerships, and nonprofit collaborations; learn how one land bank’s transitioned from a pilot program to formalized programming; and hear insights from fellow NLBN members on their successful land bank programs.
