about CCB
CCB and The Two Hundred’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.
Our Work
Our Impact
“Redlined, A Legacy of Housing Discrimination”, highlights the issues present today as a result of historic redlining policies and practices, the health implications of being systemically denied housing, and the social and economic impact of these policies on communities of color.
