The Federation of Southern Cooperatives/Land Assistance Fund ("the Federation) is committed to strengthening African-American land ownership and increasing wealth for families by addressing major land loss issues.

Our 5th Annual National Heirs’ Property FORWARD Boot Camp, a signature Southern regional event held November 30- December 2, 2023, brought heirs' property landowners, land practitioners, and staff from 10 states and provided them with practical information for resolving their heirs' property issues. Our Land Retention Team spearheaded the event.

FORWARD is a boot camp experience designed to help heirs’ property owners and land practitioners understand the strategies and tools they need to navigate the process of clearing title and developing a land utilization strategy.

Heirs’ property landowners received an in-depth 12-month checklist to guide their efforts to clear title, create an estate plan, resolve family conflicts, and much more. Troops (event heirs' property attendees) were educated on strategies for resolving heirs' property issues with resources like will clinics, mediation services, and estate planning.

Family farmers and rural communities tend to suffer disproportionately in times of disaster and economic hardship. Rural communities have less developed infrastructure, greater distance between people & services, and fewer resources. The greatest needs in times of peril are the need for food water and shelter. Farmers, cooperatives, rural communities, and community-based organizations are there to assist and should be recognized as first responders to meet these needs.
