about CCB
CCB’s mission is to reduce the homeownership gap as a means of closing the racial wealth gap for minorities and millennials.
Why Homeownership?
In addition to building wealth, homeownership correlates with increased political and community participation, higher life satisfaction, and allows families to invest in their children’s education. So, when people of color are denied access to homeownership, they are denied access to a powerful tool towards a high quality of life.
