New London Landmarks is a historical preservation nonprofit whose latest project is the renovation of the longtime home of Linwood Bland, Jr., founder and past president of the New London, Connecticut branch of the NAACP and author of a memoir of the Black experience of the mid-to-late 20^thcentury in that city.  When complete, New London Landmarks will break the link between historic preservation and gentrification and resell the home with an affordable deed restriction. Our Francis Fund loan financed some construction work while the organization awaits the sale of affordable housing tax credits.
