Recently, the EBCDC worked in partnership with local investors to convert a portfolio of 36 multi-family buildings comprising 114 housing units to the state\u2019s first ever Mixed Income Neighborhood Trust (MINT). The MINT model places governance and control of the portfolio in the hands of a local purpose trust, while financial investors hold the economic interest in the portfolio. In addition to a City deed restriction which will ensure that the units are income restricted in perpetuity, this new model empowers the local community to address displacement by placing governance, ownership, and management in the hands of a community trust. This site visit will begin at EBCDC\u2019s office, where there will be a short presentation on this longtime working class and immigrant neighborhood, and the pressures of gentrification that it is facing. Following the presentation, participants will take a bus tour of \u2018Eastie\u2019 (as it is known by residents), which will showcase and explain the anti-gentrification work that has been, and is being, done.<\/p>\n                        <\/div><form method='post' enctype='multipart\/form-data'  id='gform_10'  action='\/gentrification\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/655' data-formid='10' >\n                        <div class='gform-body gform_body'><div id='gform_fields_10' class='gform_fields top_label form_sublabel_above description_above'><fieldset id=\"field_10_1\"  class=\"gfield gfield--type-name gfield_contains_required field_sublabel_above gfield--no-description field_description_above gfield_visibility_visible\"  data-js-reload=\"field_10_1\"><legend class='gfield_label gform-field-label gfield_label_before_complex'  >Name<span class=\"gfield_required\"><span class=\"gfield_required gfield_required_text\">(Required)<\/span><\/span><\/legend><div class='ginput_complex ginput_container ginput_container--name no_prefix has_first_name no_middle_name has_last_name no_suffix gf_name_has_2 ginput_container_name gform-grid-row' id='input_10_1'>\n                            \n                            <span id='input_10_1_3_container' class='name_first gform-grid-col gform-grid-col--size-auto' >\n                                                    <label for='input_10_1_3' class='gform-field-label gform-field-label--type-sub '>First<\/label>\n                                                    <input type='text' name='input_1.3' id='input_10_1_3' value=''   aria-required='true'    autocomplete=\"given-name\" \/>\n                                                <\/span>\n                            \n                            <span id='input_10_1_6_container' class='name_last gform-grid-col gform-grid-col--size-auto' >\n                                                            <label for='input_10_1_6' class='gform-field-label gform-field-label--type-sub '>Last<\/label>\n                                                            <input type='text' name='input_1.6' id='input_10_1_6' value=''   aria-required='true'    autocomplete=\"family-name\" \/>\n                                                        <\/span>\n                            \n                        <\/div><\/fieldset><fieldset id=\"field_10_2\"  class=\"gfield gfield--type-email gfield_contains_required field_sublabel_above gfield--no-description field_description_above gfield_visibility_visible\"  data-js-reload=\"field_10_2\"><legend class='gfield_label gform-field-label gfield_label_before_complex'  >Email<span class=\"gfield_required\"><span class=\"gfield_required gfield_required_text\">(Required)<\/span><\/span><\/legend><div class='ginput_complex ginput_container ginput_container_email gform-grid-row' id='input_10_2_container'>\n                                <span id='input_10_2_1_container' class='ginput_left gform-grid-col gform-grid-col--size-auto'>\n                                    <label for='input_10_2' class='gform-field-label gform-field-label--type-sub '>Enter Email<\/label>\n                                    <input class='' type='text' name='input_2' id='input_10_2' value=''    aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\"  autocomplete=\"email\"\/>\n                                <\/span>\n                                <span id='input_10_2_2_container' class='ginput_right gform-grid-col gform-grid-col--size-auto'>\n                                    <label for='input_10_2_2' class='gform-field-label gform-field-label--type-sub '>Confirm Email<\/label>\n                                    <input class='' type='text' name='input_2_2' id='input_10_2_2' value=''    aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\"  autocomplete=\"email\"\/>\n                                <\/span>\n                                <div class='gf_clear gf_clear_complex'><\/div>\n                            <\/div><\/fieldset><div id=\"field_10_3\"  class=\"gfield gfield--type-textarea field_sublabel_above gfield--has-description field_description_above gfield_visibility_visible\"  data-js-reload=\"field_10_3\"><label class='gfield_label gform-field-label' for='input_10_3' >Comments\/Questions<\/label><div class='gfield_description' id='gfield_description_10_3'>We strive to be accessible, inclusive, and diverse in our programming.
