In the 2010s, despite a major effort by the city to restore vacant properties, Baltimore’s vacant property inventory remained steady at around 16,000 properties. By 2025, that number had dropped to under 13,000—despite no major changes in public programs or funding devoted to vacant properties.

Rising home prices in Baltimore’s middle neighborhoods have been a principal driving force. Similar trends are emerging in Philadelphia, Cleveland, and other legacy cities. This market shift has profound implications for neighborhood change and vacant property policy. It also demands that local governments, nonprofits, and land banks reassess how they deploy public subsidies for housing and revitalization.

This webinar will explore the dynamics behind this dramatic market shift and what they mean for community development practitioners, land banks, and other partners in urban revitalization.

Join this webinar to:

• Understand the public and private forces driving rapid market shifts in middle neighborhoods

• Learn how these shifts affect local governments, community development corporations (CDCs) and land banks

• Explore strategies communities can use to take advantage of market shifts to foster sustainable neighborhood change and affordability

Speakers:

• Alan Mallach – Senior Fellow, Center for Community Progress

• Michael Braverman – Former Commissioner of Housing & Community Development, City of Baltimore

• Danielle Lewinski – Chief Program Officer, Center for Community Progress

In 2025, Casey Family Programs, CSH, and Chapin Hall collaborated to convene the Housing as a Foundational Element of Family Well-Being Cohort. This 6-month national learning collaborative was developed in response to growing evidence that housing instability and family homelessness are key drivers of child welfare system contact. Participants included cross-sector leadership from New Jersey, Colorado, Kentucky, and Oregon, who reported that the cohort helped them think more creatively about housing solutions and funding opportunities to better support child-welfare-involved families.

Register for this webinar to learn more about key takeaways, including current innovations, promising initiatives, and strategies to reframe housing needs for decision makers.

Huckleberry House is proud to announce its 2026 Sleep Out, its signature community awareness and fundraising event, in partnership with First Congregational Church, UCC, Columbus, through its Unsheltered Ministry. Taking place on Friday, May 29 on the church grounds located at 444 East Broad Street in downtown Columbus, Sleep Out centers on the theme, “We Are Community,” emphasizing our collective responsibility to ensure every young person has a safe place to sleep.

Sleep Out invites individuals, faith leaders, corporate partners, advocates, and supporters to spend one night outside in community and in solidarity with young people experiencing homelessness. Participants gain a deeper understanding of the realities faced by youth in crisis while raising critical funds to support Huckleberry House’s shelter, housing, and prevention programs.

“We are community is more than a theme – it is a call to action,” said Jennifer Sharma, CEO of Huckleberry House. “When young people experience homelessness, it is not just their burden to carry. It is ours. Our many partners in the community, including First Congregational Church, reflect the kind of shared commitment it takes to show up for youth, not just one night, but every day.

First Congregational Church, UCC, Columbus, joins the 2026 Sleep Out as a community partner, reinforcing its long-standing commitment to service, compassion, and justice. “At First Congregational Church, we believe faith is lived out through action,” said Interim Associate Pastor, Rev. Jess Young Chang.  “We are honored to partner with Huckleberry House and its event, Sleep Out, to stand alongside young people and advocate as part of a caring, responsive community.”

Also joining Sleep Out 2026 are host committee members: Julie Simono with Colliers International and a member of Huckleberry House’s Board of Directors, Arianny Damian, The Wilder Family, and C3 Church.

Each year, Huckleberry House serves thousands of young people and family’s across central Ohio who are experiencing homelessness, family crisis, or housing instability. Funds raised through Sleep Out directly support emergency shelter, transitional housing, counseling, and prevention services, meeting youth where they are helping them move toward safety, stability, and independence.

Community members are encouraged to register (opening in March 2026), form teams, and fundraise for the event. No one sleeps out alone – participants are surrounded by a network of support, reflection, and shared purpose.

Join the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy’s Innovations in Manufactured and Modular Homes Network (I’m HOME) and The Pew Charitable Trusts virtually for the launch of a new state policy playbook focused on expanding and preserving manufactured housing opportunities across the United States. This hybrid event will introduce the playbook’s overarching policy recommendations and highlight how states can take meaningful action to increase housing supply, improve affordability, and modernize housing policy through manufactured housing. Please note that in-person attendance is by invitation only.

The launch will bring together policymakers, practitioners, advocates, and researchers for a discussion of state-level strategies to support manufactured housing as an important part of the nation’s housing landscape. The program will be organized around three core policy areas: building attainable supply through zoning and land use reform, expanding access to mortgages for homebuyers by modernizing titling policy, and promising strategies to preserve existing communities as a source of naturally occurring affordable housing.

Together, these themes will showcase how states have approached reducing regulatory barriers, supporting healthier and more energy-efficient housing options, removing unnecessary hurdles preventing homebuyer access to mortgages, and helping families remain in their homes.

Registration for virtual participants opens April 28, 2026. View the agenda.
