[In-Person Program]

Black developers have historically been kept out of the real estate development ecosystem by exclusionary employment practices in the real estate sector and by discriminatory patterns in the banking sector that erect barriers to capital access and economic mobility for people of color. Leaders from the Black Developers Forum and the Bay Area Regional Health Inequities Initiative will discuss efforts to create a $500 million Regional Black Housing Finance Pool to address redevelopment, acquisition, and rehabilitation challenges and to support Black leaders who are serving the housing needs of Black communities.
