Place Keeping
Introduction
In the rapidly evolving landscape of Sacramento, the term "gentrification" has become a familiar refrain, echoing through the corridors of communities undergoing significant transformation. While the development brings new opportunities, it also poses challenges, notably the displacement of longstanding residents. Amid these changes, All City Homes’ new initiative called "Place Keeping" emerges, aiming to empower residents with strategies to retain their place in their beloved neighborhoods. This series will explore anti-displacement tools, practices, and tips designed to anchor communities in the face of gentrification.
Renting Out Rooms | A Community-Centric Approach
One of the most accessible strategies for homeowners is to harness the potential of their existing space. Renting out a room or two to college students, travel nurses, or other short-term tenants can serve multiple purposes. It not only provides extra income to help with the mortgage or rising living costs but also strengthens community ties by offering affordable living options to those contributing to the area's vibrancy.

Conclusion
As Sacramento continues to evolve, "Place Keeping" offers a beacon of hope and practicality for those grappling with the effects of gentrification. By turning to strategies such as renting out rooms and building ADUs, homeowners can find not just financial relief but also play a pivotal role in preserving the fabric of their communities. This series aims to equip residents with the knowledge and tools to stand firm in their places, ensuring that the heart of Sacramento remains its people.
