CAN ‘GENTRIFYING’ CITIES CREATE NEW BRIDGES TO WEALTH

In Can Gentrifying Cities Create New Bridges to Wealth? Neal Peirce highlights the promise the Harambee neighborhood holds for low income residents, if they are able to buy their own homes.

"[F]or Americans, homeownership is the bedrock of the savings and wealth creation that lets families pass on assets, and a headstart on life, generation to generation."

Habitat for Humanity, ACTS CDC, Select Milwaukee and and Housing Resources Inc. are here to help low-income people buy in the neighborhood ahead of the boom that is spreading northward from downtown and westward from the lake. On Saturday, they're jointly putting on aworkshop for potential homebuyers. Invite people you know to learn how to get in on the American Dream.
