Dear Shelterforce reader,
While the world is a very different place than it was just a few months ago, Shelterforce is keeping busy, doing what we’ve always done—bringing you stories that both inform your work and help you advocate to others.
We’re committed to doing the best for all our readers and the field we serve, and that’s why we’ve made the difficult decision to cease our quarterly print publication so that we can focus our time and resources on producing more—and better—stories, and getting them online more quickly, where the vast majority of our readers already are.
We know many of our readers subscribed to our print magazine as a way to show their ongoing support for Shelterforce and our mission. But you don’t need a print magazine to do that!
We invite you to be counted among the ranks of Shelterforce devotees by supporting us on Patreon and becoming a “Shelterforian”! Along with knowing you’re helping to keep us strong, by signing up, you can get access to things like behind-the-scenes insights into what we’re up to and even chats with our editors. But most of all, you’ll know you’re helping to keep the independent voice of community development speaking loud and clear.
We thank you for believing in our work. Housing policy is central to the pandemic response and recovery, but the challenges, lessons, and opportunities that were there in January are all still there as well. We’ll be with you as you navigate these waters. We look forward to continuing this journey together as we keep bringing you stories and voices at the intersection of policy, practice, and theory in affordable housing and community development.
