Video: Bree Jones | How to Revitalize a Neighborhood Without Gentrification

The housing market can be vexing: while some neighborhoods get ridiculously expensive and price out longtime residents, others have historic homes sitting vacant without demand.

Jones is contributing to the growth of undervalued neighborhoods through a community ownership model aimed at healing place-based trauma.
