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?

Eliminates a root cause of the wealth gap

Best pathway out of poverty

Invests in your family’s future

Leads to improved education and health

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 Impact

1,000 Members

In 2011 CCB’s founders convened a meeting with the Federal Reserve Bank to discuss impediments to homeownership. Grassroots educational conferences throughout California has increased our community coalition to 1,000 members. We have expanded our work to include millennials, generation z and students, a trio we refer to as the M&MZ (Minorities Millennials & Generation Z).
