Resources for Homeowners, and Homebuyers
Black Homeowners we are looking for you! As we continue to face record displacement and gentrification, our project seeks to bring us together and arm us with the tools and information to keep our homes. Predatory developers, bad loans, lack of capitol to make repairs, and prohibitive municipal codes, taxes or just family can lead to us losing our homes. Often times we don’t have the information about programs that can help us stay. Sign up now to become a member of our Black Homeowner Network and join us in saying WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED!
