ICYMI: We recently joined Common Counsel Foundation and Possibility Labs in announcing the Community Ownership for Community Power (COCP) Fund, a $22 million initiative with commitments from The James Irvine Foundation, California Endowment, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Great Communities Collaborative at the San Francisco Foundation, and the Weingart Foundation.

The COCP Fund seeks to position community ownership as a more widely accessible strategy to address the housing affordability crisis, and has provided $2.2M in grants to the initial cohort of 14 community ownership partners.
