About us
The Center for Community Investment at the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy works to overcome disinvestment and improve opportunity so that everyone has a fair chance to lead a healthy and productive life. We help communities set the stage for investments that advance their goals by helping leaders clarify local priorities, enlist institutions that could contribute to success, develop a pipeline of investments to achieve the vision, and change policies and practices to create a more supportive financing environment. We have developed a framework and approach that community partnerships can use to mobilize resources like land, investment capital, and expertise to provide access to affordable housing, jobs, fresh foods, and other social determinants of health and make communities more cohesive, resilient, and environmentally sustainable in the face of climate change.

In late 2020, four Fulcrum Fellow alumni wrote the essays in "Centering Black People in Community Development: New Visions from Black Women Leaders." They contributed to highly visible conversations that were happening around the country about racial and economic justice and a just recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Don't miss this clear demonstration of practical strategies that keep racial justice at the center: https://lnkd.in/gNc4KhSz Now, as we navigate another moment of extreme uncertainty, the Fulcrum Fellowship continues to offer community investment practitioners the grounding, tools, and solidarity they need to use capital to accelerate their efforts on behalf of their communities.

Marian Urquilla's Strategy Triage Tool provides essential grounding to navigate uncertainty and deal with urgent issues - without losing sight of the system.
I've revised the Strategy Triage Tool I created early in the pandemic to help leaders navigate our upside down world. We're in another one of those moments when everything shifts and upends the systems we work in. The Triage Tool can help you regroup and refine/formulate wise and grounded strategy. Take a look and please share it widely!

Our CEO Rudy Espinoza penned an Op-Ed with Next City Org on how CDFIs should respond to wildfires @nextcityorg that have deeply impacted one of Los Angeles County's most historic Black communities. Rebuilding these communities requires intentionality and urgency – and CDFIs must commit to engaging impacted communities meaningfully. Head to https://lnkd.in/e-Fpa6Tw to read the full article.

Building housing isn’t just about bricks; it’s about caring for people. That’s why our solutions like the We Lift catalyst fund put communities first. The Stanford Social Innovation Review has recognized our approach as both people-centered and purpose-driven, and we’re proud to keep that focus at the heart of everything we do. Read the article at https://lnkd.in/eaYGbpgk Thank you to the Center for Community Investment for making this article possible and to the many partners integral to our work. These include partners in the catalyst fund County of Riverside, Rural Community Assistance Corporation (RCAC) and Low Income Investment Fund as well as supporters like Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia and Supervisor V. Manuel Perez.
