Capital Absorption
Lancaster
Genesis LA seeks to attract and leverage capital for investment in a pipeline that advances the goals of community ownership in Lancaster.
The 3C initiative helps teams strengthen local community investment ecosystems and advance racial equity through safe, affordable housing.
Using the Altar Capaital Investment’s Capital Absorption Framework, multisector stakeholders in Lancaster collaborate to achieve ambitious results that go beyond individual projects to systems change. The three-year initiative is working to scale affordable housing and redress the ways structural racism has shaped American housing systems with dramatically negative consequences for many communities of color.
