To unpack the legacy of structural racism and causes and consequences of segregation and its impact on the homeownership gap, it is essential to start with shared understanding of the issues. MPC proposes Change Lab, which will explore ways to create innovative solutions and transformational impacts based on emergent research from Inequity for Sale and Urban Institute. MPC will facilitate three ‘conversations’ associated with this effort. MPC will work closely with CCT Program Staff to invite thirty (30) housing leaders representing developers, CBOs, residents, philanthropists, policy makers and banks to participate in the forum. Conversations include: Conversation #1 - Homeownership Gap, Conversation #2 - Solutions in Development, and Conversation #3 - Call to Action.
