The Housing Justice Team is a group of people with lived experience of housing instability or houselessness who want to change our collective housing future.  The group started without a predetermined outcome, and what emerged organically was a space where advocates across the country chose to rely on each other for support and shared-learning while dreaming up our own and our collective impact on our world. 

In this episode we’ll talk with the team and how our impact and vision emerged out of an authentic process for truly listening and hearing one another, with our whole selves at the core of the relationship, alongside some structure to keep us iterating and emerging toward what we wanted. It was created in mutual exchange. And in the end, each of our lives were significantly transformed as a result of being a part of this team.

Housing Justice Team Guests: Alexander Perez, Julisa Abad, LaQuita Love-Limo, Tiffany Haynes, and Wendell WIlliams. Alesha Alexee is also a member, but wasn’t able to join us for the recorded conversation.

When we talk about community ownership, we’re talking about moving decision-making power to people in the community who have lived experience of the systems we are working to transform. In this way, community ownership is central to housing justice. It’s the root-system; it gives us the platform we need to grow transformed structures where people can thrive. In this conversation, we are starting with intimacy and relationshi as the seed that allows those roots to grow and develop. Our guest, Whimzi Ha brings her magic to this conversation.
