On Wednesday, March 16, 2016 YNDC Executive Director Ian Beniston presented and led a discussion on Data and Markets with Danielle Lewinski at the Center for Community Progress Leadership Institute held at Harvard University.
Jack Daugherty, YNDC Neighborhood Stabilization Director and Ian also participated in the weeklong training.
The Community Progress Leadership Institute (Leadership Institute) exists to seed and support these changes, and develop the leadership necessary to restore vitality to America’s neighborhoods.
The rigorous four-day Leadership Institute helps participating delegations better understand the causes of vacancy and abandonment, assess the systems that can facilitate the return of properties to productive use, strengthen relationships, develop actionable next steps, and grow in their ability to lead profound change. Each Leadership Institute cohort is, by design, limited in size, making for a low participant-to-faculty ratio and creating opportunity for individual attention tailored to a participating city’s needs. The topics include: understanding neighborhood markets, strategic code enforcement, property tax systems, land banking, land and property reuse. For more information please click here.
