The May meetup created space for members to share both wins and challenges while focusing on practical steps to preserve Black homeownership. Smaller-group discussion allowed for deeper conversation about aging in place, predatory risk, and wealth protection strategies. The gathering also highlighted progress toward a dedicated Black Homeownership Hub in Seattle.
Event Highlights
Members discussed preservation priorities, exchanged peer guidance, and reviewed how a permanent hub can expand access to education and services. The CDCPDA and Black Legacy Homeowners partnership was highlighted as a key step toward coordinated support in areas such as home repair pathways, estate planning awareness, and buyer readiness.
