Rural LISC staff led by Dr. Moriah Shiddat, Ph.D and our partners participated in the Understanding Heirs’ Property at the Community Level Train-the-Trainer in Atlanta, hosted by the Southern Rural Development Center at Mississippi State University. The multiday program equips practitioners with practical tools to help families understand heirs’ property, prevent future ownership challenges through estate planning and education, and address existing heirs’ property issues that drive land loss and housing instability.
Participation supports Rural LISC’s Southern Rural Housing Initiative and builds on our JPMorgan Chase–funded Scaling Heirs’ Property work. Rural LISC partner organizations represented included SEASHA, Community Housing Improvement Program, Inc. (CHIP), Communities Unlimited, and Southside Outreach Group reflecting growing networkwide momentum to address heirs’ property as a critical housing and land retention issue in rural communities.
