David Kemper wanted to find a way to safeguard established renters against gentrification. His goal was to build a real-estate investment model that both stabilized existing rents and gave a voice to that community. The model he landed on, MINT (or Mixed-Income Neighborhood Trust), is a sophisticated and replicable ownership model. Each MINT develops, owns, and operates a rental housing and retail portfolio. Trust Neighborhoods, David's non-profit, works with neighborhood-focused organizations to facilitate the formation of each MINT with the goal of a self-sustaining organization, run by the neighborhoods themselves. Trust Neighborhoods is still new, but David has said that they hope to expand their reach and work with neighborhoods around the country.
