SUMMARY:Affordability\, Parity and Progress in Real Estate for Black Americans
DESCRIPTION:Did you know the gap in the homeownership rate between Black and white families is wider today than it was in 1960? We want to do something about it. It’s time to connect Black families with the housing resources available to them and find solutions that will create equal access to homeownership for all.\nThe National Black Empowerment Council (NBEC)\, in conjunction with the American Property Owners Alliance\, invites you to attend “MOVIN’ ON UP: Preserving Affordability\, Parity and Progress in Real Estate for Black Americans” on Tuesday\, October 25th\, at The Loudermilk Center. Join us as we engage in meaningful discussion with industry experts and learn about the resources available to current and aspiring property owners. Together\, we can support and protect the dream of homeownership for all.\nThe free event begins with networking at 5:30pm\, followed by a welcome message from the Mayor of Atlanta\, Andre Dickens. Throughout the evening\, a panel of experts will discuss credit and financial practices\, homeownership and housing affordability\, and how race and gender pay gaps affect Black homeownership. The evening will conclude with a keynote address from Ashley Bell\, Founder & CEO of Ready Life followed by a reception. Refreshments will be provided. If you are unable to join us in Atlanta\, you will receive a webinar link prior to the event to attend virtually! \nWelcome Address: Mayor of Atlanta\, Andre Dickens with an introduction by Mr. Darius Jones\, CEO of The National Black Empowerment Council (NBEC) \nKeynote Speaker: Ashley Bell\, CEO of Ready Life \nPanel Topics: Credit and financial education; How steady employment and income affect Black homeownership; The Black family\, homeownership\, and wealth creation. \nModerator: Colin Allen\, Executive Director of American Property Owners Alliance \nPanelists: Mark Calabria\, former Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency; Courtney English\, Senior Advisor to Mayor Dickens; Nykea Pippion Mcgriff\, Congressional candidate and Former President for the Chicago Association of REALTORS®; Alan Williams\, Deputy Assistant Secretary – Intergovernmental Affairs\, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. \nFollow APOA on X for live streaming of the event
