Our Homes, Our Castro

The Castro has changed over the decades — this panel is for longtime residents and property owners thinking about what comes next. Hear how land use and housing decisions made today can help keep this neighborhood a home for queer communities for years to come.

Opening remarks from Jen Reck (SFSU) on neighborhood change in the Castro.

Panelists include San Francisco Community Land Trust on stewarding land as affordable housing for generations; longtime Castro resident Ellen Leonard on her hopes for her 3-unit property; and Jesse Sanford on land use tools that help owners ensure queer-affirming use over time. A reception with light refreshments follows.
