Grounding Justice: Toward Reparative Spatial Futures in Land and Housing serves as the foundational document for our commitment to reparative spatial justice. It is both a clarion call to action and an open invitation for collaboration and dialogue, embracing the necessary conversations, tensions, and collective growth inherent in this journey.

In this inaugural publication, we underscore the urgent need for a reparative spatial justice framework in land and housing policy. The paper elevates critical concepts, research findings, and diverse perspectives from the field, illuminating the complex and multifaceted nature of reparative spatial justice. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review by the PolicyLink housing team and empirical insights from qualitative research conducted by Social Insights, this publication synthesizes conversations with advocates, frontline workers, and thought leaders in spatial justice, reparations, housing justice, and land justice. Together, these insights form a set of evidence-based recommendations, charting a strategic course for practitioners, researchers, policymakers, organizers, and advocates dedicated to this transformative work.
