This City Case explores the first four years of the Kensington Corridor Trust (KCT). KCT is a neighborhood trust started in 2019 whose mission is to acquire and redevelop real estate on a disinvested commercial corridor and place it into long-term community control to preserve culture and affordability while building neighborhood power and wealth. KCT has an innovative trust governance structure that seeks to decommodify commercial and residential assets by taking them out of the speculative market and placing them under community control.
