Our Work
We have an expressed commitment to creating BIPOC-led housing and land projects; our work centers around mutual-aid, peer-learning, and community building to support these projects in their inception and longevity. From co-ops and intentional communities and community farms and food sovereignty projects; we understand collaboration and shared inspiration will support our land dreams.

BIPOC Land Dreamers Fellowship
The BIPOC Land Dreamer Fellowship is an 8-week training program by the People of Color Sustainable Housing Network (POCSHN) that supports Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color in designing and launching collective, community-led housing and land stewardship projects. This Fall, a small cohort of fellows will explore cooperative models, funding and ownership pathways, and practical tools for building shared housing visions, while connecting with others dreaming toward land liberation.

Land Work Days
In the spirit of mutual aid and the commons, POCSHN hosts bi-monthly Land Work Days at various BIPOC-led food and housing projects across the Bay Area. To create solidarity between the struggle for food sovereignty and equitable land access, we bring a spirited group of POCSHN members from across the East Bay (and beyond!) to put our labor where our mouth is and support projects that are making progress to land liberation!
Want to host a work day? Send us an email with your name, land site location, and a few date options!
Co-Housing Tours
We are a network of individuals, land projects, and organizations who hope to promote and advocate for resources for POC-led housing and land projects. With our co-housing tours, we welcome individuals who are interested in starting land projects, or want to see how others do it, to get up close and personal with co-ops and co-living projects in Northern California. This helps ignite and sustain the movement to regenerative land projects by supporting them and raising awareness about the land visionaries in our community.
