Grove Rights and Community Equity Inc. (GRACE)

GRACE is a fair and affordable housing coalition of over a dozen Coconut Grove churches, civic associations, nonprofit organizations, small businesses, tenants, and homeowners who represent and advocate for Historic Little Bahama of Coconut Grove. Incorporated in August 2019, GRACE was born out of the Coconut Grove Ministerial Alliance Housing and Community Development Task Force, with a mission of not only halting and remedying the mass eviction, displacement, and resegregation of vulnerable black tenants and homeowners, but also to negotiate community benefits agreements in defense of, and reform municipal land use and zoning policies that imperil, at-risk tenants and homeowners, and promotes thoughtful and equitable economic development. GRACE is a unified and consolidated effort to advocate for equitable economic development and the preservation of the Little Bahamas of Coconut Grove people, culture, and history.
