ABOUT RICHMOND LAND
Richmond LAND’s mission is to build grassroots power for resident-driven and community-controlled land-use through community organizing, land acquisition, development, and stewardship of the land and affordable housing for long-term community benefit.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Incorporated in the Fall of 2019, Richmond LAND has grown from an idea into a powerful and innovative model that centers power-building and place-keeping in its land acquisition and development efforts. As an emerging Community Land Trust, we seed development projects and stewardship activities through resident leadership programming and cultural organizing.
The Executive Director will join a dynamic team of leaders, advocates, and organizers passionate about transforming the conventional models of planning, affordable housing, and community and economic development to align with restorative economics and the Just Transition framework .
We are looking for an experienced people manager with a background in real estate and community development to join us in shifting local land-use away from profit-motivation towards community-driven and led initiatives. Together we will grow our effort to stabilize residents, create and secure neighborhood assets, sustain cultural legacies, and assert Black, Indigenous, People of Color and historical residents’ right to return, remain, persist, and thrive in our community.
The Executive Director will be responsible for establishing new partnerships across industries, executing programs, securing organizational resources, and growing Richmond LAND’s real estate acquisition, rehabilitation and development strategy to ensure effective growth and sustainability of the organization.
