Refugees Are Developing A First-Of-Its-Kind Community Land Trust

January 5, 2026 Roberto Camacho, Next City. , , ,
When Ramla Sahid was five years old, she and her family fled Somalia to escape the civil war that had engulfed the nation. Nearly 35 years later, living in San Diego as a refugee, she’s working to create what might be the country’s first community land trust for immigrant and refugee families. In 2015, Sahid founded the Partnership for the Advancement of New Americans (PANA), a nonprofit staffed by refugees and working toward building economic, social and civic power for refugees and displaced communities around San Diego.
