Sua Hernandez is the Director of Housing Resilience & Executive Administrator at El Sereno Community Land Trust. She’s been working in affordable housing since the late 90s and is an alumni of Occidental College, with a BA in urban and environmental policy. We talk about differences between co-ops, land trusts, and a community development corporation. Sua shares some of the questions ESCLT staff asks themselves to establish and maintain a culture of dignity and autonomy, and why that's important.
