Note from the Network: Learning About Social Purpose Real Estate

Here at CSN, some of the most valued perspectives in our network are those who come to the community with curiosity and a willingness to learn. We believe that every community deserves access to the space it needs to be sustainable, healthy, and vibrant. Our approach is to support and amplify the voices of social purpose real estate practitioners and advocate for sustainable solutions to community infrastructure, particularly through nonprofit and local ownership and control.

As a part of supporting and amplifying voices of community leaders, we work to make commercial real estate more accessible and less intimidating. Some of our favorite stories are community members who are new to commercial real estate and who come to us with curiosity and questions. Your perspective is valued, and your questions about things like real estate jargon and all the darn real estate acronyms, or how to leverage real estate to build power in your community, or what a sustainable community ownership model can be, are what builds CSN. That curiosity and excitement to learn are what we work to support, and what grows the social purpose real estate movement, so we can all have greater impact in our communities.

If you are someone who is curious and excited to learn, or are new to social purpose real estate, a great way to get started is with our upcoming webinar: Exploring Social Purpose Real Estate. Whether you get started with the webinar, or just by reaching out, we would love to connect. Curiosity and questions belong at CSN and we would be grateful to have you as a part of our community.
