Black Home Initiative

Discriminatory housing practices of the past can still be felt today. Nowhere is this more evident than in the wealth gap that persists between communities today. The Black Home Initiative targets this systemic inequity to increase homeownership among Black households.

We aim to generate 1,500 new Black homeowners over the next five years from South Seattle to Thurston County.

Connecting Capital
and Community

At Civic Commons, we know that families thrive when they have the opportunity to build assets and pass them down to future generations. For wealthier households, building intergenerational wealth typically includes owning property. 

But institutional racism has cut off many Black families from accessing this path to prosperity.

Black Home Initiative (BHI) targets the racial inequities at the core of the housing ecosystem in an effort to increase homeownership among Black households.
