Lessons learned from recent efforts in three Bay Area jurisdictions to distill best practices for designing and implementing local acquisition-rehab preservation programs. It includes case studies that illustrate the impacts acquisition-rehab efforts have had on communities, profiles of recent financing initiatives aimed at supporting this work, and an analysis of development costs for a sample of properties recently acquired by nonprofit stewards.

Subsequent papers will demonstrate the extent of overlap between different measures, and the intersections of gentrification and education policy decisions.
