Own the Block

business, investing, non-profit · EN-US

A show for the people who want to build community-owned real estate — and the practitioners who make it possible. Each episode unpacks a different piece of the capital stack and tells the stories behind the deal, through conversations with the connectors, technical assistance providers, and fund creators who turn complicated deals into real, non-extractive wins for communities. Smart, practical, and story-driven, Own the Block is built for nonprofit workers, community activists, lenders, funders and local government partners navigating this world firsthand — real strategies, real success stories, and a clear-eyed look at what it takes to own the block.
