We are a collective of Portland-based activists and organizers working to redistribute wealth and privilege to interrupt racialized disparities in homeownership and inequitable cycles of intergenerational wealth.  According to Oregon Housing and Community Services, 67% of white Oregonians own homes, compared to 36% of Black Oregonians and 48% of American Indian or Alaska Native Oregonians. And according to the Portland Housing Bureau’s State of Housing Report, homeownership is not affordable in any neighborhood in Portland for the average Black or Native American household.

Homeownership and intergenerational wealth are closely linked. Consider: Have you benefited from the rising cost of real estate? Did you have access to intergenerational wealth or relatives who supported you to buy a home? Do you benefit annually from the home mortgage interest deduction on your taxes? Have you inherited money based on your family’s racial or economic access to homeownership? If so, we invite you to consider redistribution!
