Mission Statement
Working together to make our community stronger, one person, one neighborhood at a time.
We are committed to promoting Black economic empowerment.
Why
Currently, Black homeownership compared to White homeownership is
42-45% vs 72 %
Black family wealth vs White family wealth is
$17,150 vs $171,000
Black households in the U.S. have a fraction of the wealth of white households, leaving them in a much more fragile financial situation when a crisis strikes. The Covid-19 crisis disproportionately stressed Black & Brown communities with illness and a slower economic recovery compared to other communities.
These disparities are largely influenced by systemic racism embedded in centuries of discriminatory federal and state policies in the American labor, housing and education systems , contributed overtime to Black Americans, on average having considerably less wealth than white Americans.
Our Blueprint Program aims to help you stay prepared for big and small crisis, by advancing economic empowerment and equity in intentionally underserved neighborhoods. The program connects home and business owners to community members who want to achieve the same success .
