Black and Brown tenants in DC's Ward 1, with support from Ward 1 Mutual Aid, are seeking to use their rights to buy their building themselves (instead of a luxury developer). We’re dreaming to create Baldwin House: a housing co-op and mutual aid hub in one of the most rapidly gentrifying cities in the U.S.
Does this endeavor speak to you while igniting one hundred and one questions? Are you excited at the prospect of joining us in the fight for housing justice and community care in DC AND unsure what that might look like?
Do you, or someone you know, have surplus money to contribute to this effort? This event is an opportunity to do some radical visioning and strategizing as a community. Part political education, part fundraiser, part celebration, and all community builder, we will use this evening to deepen the roots of Baldwin house and nurture a growing movement of supporters and donors. We hope you'll join us and bring a likeminded loved one!
We officially bought the apartment building! Thanks to over $600k in donations, $1.7 million in loaned funds from community members, and a bank partner, we got what we needed to finance the building! The co-op will began stewarding the building at the end of May 2023.
Renovations have begun!
We are hard at work getting all of our governance and operations systems set up!
You'll be seeing mutual aid and community events coming up soon (mark your calendars for October 28 for a Halloween event)!
