Black households make up 48% of the city’s households, but they only own just 17% of the city’s housing wealth, according to the Atlanta Wealth Building Initiative research. “It's something that we've been grappling with for a very long time and the solutions that have been introduced to address this statistic have largely failed," Alex Camardelle, Ph.D. said, "if not been as successful as they need to be to help shift the narrative and eventually shift outcomes." https://lnkd.in/e4ifTmst via 11Alive

Leveraging ideas, people and capital to close the racial wealth gap and achieve shared prosperity.
关于我们
Atlanta Wealth Building Initiative is an intermediary that seeks to achieve shared prosperity by closing the racial wealth gap through community wealth building strategies. We are a community of investors, advocates, and activists working to transform systems and structures of capital to create opportunities for African Americans and people of color in Atlanta and across the South. We promote understanding of community wealth-building strategies to cultivate the engagement, capacity, leadership necessary to shape a new economic narrative in Atlanta. By challenging systemic bias and introducing new systems and structures of capital, AWBI aims to re-engineer and redesign Atlanta’s economic ecosystem such that all sectors, from small businesses to large corporations, to anchor institutions, philanthropy, nonprofits and government, consider day to day how to integrate the economic well-being of our most disenfranchised families and communities into their strategy and operations.
