Funder Spotlight

Amazon

With Amazon’s grant to advance racial equity, we’re helping developers of color scale their operations and seed their pipeline of affordable housing projects – and reshape the affordable housing industry to better reflect the communities it serves.

If we are going to bring about lasting, holistic, and meaningful change to how affordable housing is developed, developers of color need to be a part of the solution.
