Reinvestment in the Haven

You’ve seen the problem. Now let’s build the solution. Housing in our community is in crisis — and we all know it. The cost is too high. The options are too limited. And too many families are being priced out, pushed out, or left waiting for investment that never reaches them. But what’s really driving it? Who benefits from the way things are now? And who has the power to change it? Join The Equity Alliance for Reinvestment in The Haven: Building With the Existing Community in Mind is a hands-on, community led workshop where we move beyond the surface and get to the real work of organizing around housing, land, infrastructure, and economic development. This gathering is part of a larger series rooted in communities across Memphis — including Whitehaven, Frayser, Raleigh, and North Memphis where residents are coming together to define what reinvestment should look like in their neighborhoods, on their terms. Each stop builds toward a shared vision and a collective strategy for equitable development across the city. You are invited because your voice, your experience, and your presence matter to the future of Whitehaven and to the future of Memphis as a whole.
