The Small Business Anti-Displacement Network is a network of organizations across the United States and internationally that work to prevent displacement of BIPOC- and immigrant-owned small businesses in gentrifying neighborhoods. Housed at the University of Maryland’s National Center for Smart Growth, SBAN includes policymakers, nonprofit advocates, technical assistance providers, real estate developers, financial institutions, scholars, and small business owners, who share knowledge and collaborate to advance innovative policies and practices that keep small businesses in place.

    We're Still Here
    (2023-11) Small Business Anti-Displacement Network
    The documentary film We're Still Here tells the story of small business owners and communities fighting commercial gentrification in Miami’s Little Santo Domingo, Chicago’s Puerto Rico Town, and the Los Angeles neighborhoods of Boyle Heights and East LA. The film follows SBAN on site visits to learn more about the efforts of The Allapattah Collaborative, the Puerto Rican Cultural Center, and Inclusive Action for the City. The companion report, Keeping Small Businesses In Place: Voices From the Field, is a collection of SBAN-funded case studies from neighborhoods in Washington, D.C., Miami, Seattle, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, London, Kolkata, and Montréal. Written by researchers from community-based organizations and academic institutions, the 11 case studies examine how public, private, and nonprofit organizations are using diverse anti-displacement tools and strategies to keep BIPOC- and immigrant-owned small businesses in place.
