The Guild creates spaces for social change
We develop community-owned models of land, housing, and real estate that put power back in the hands of the people.
Through acquisition, development, and community-led programming, we transform spaces into shared assets—ensuring that more people, especially those historically excluded, have the opportunity to own, steward, and build collective wealth in their own neighborhoods.
The Community Stewardship Trust
The CST gives local residents the power to co-own and steward essential neighborhood spaces—affordable housing, grocery stores, daycares, co-working spaces. By keeping these properties in community hands, we create stability, prevent displacement, and ensure that the wealth generated from real estate development in our neighborhoods stays with the people who live there.
More than ownership, the CST provides a tangible way to relate to land and to each other differently.
People’s Community Land Trust
Taking Atlanta’s housing back from corporate control
With housing costs rising and corporate landlords dominating the market, the PCLT is a powerful alternative. By removing homes from the for-profit, speculative real estate system, we secure permanently affordable housing for Atlanta residents—keeping families in their communities and preventing displacement.
Groundcover
To reclaim our neighborhoods, we need capital
Groundcover is our investment fund that channels non-extractive, reparative capital into scaling cooperative models—creating real pathways to ownership for Black and other communities of color, and poor and working class communities.
