Homeownership Now and After COVID-19

It’s officially Homeownership Month! We know these are challenging times, but this crisis has made it clear that we must continue our work to help change systems so that all Americans can achieve prosperity. Prosperity Now is committed to advancing economic justice so that low-income communities and people of color can access a living wage, affordable housing, and fair and just treatment under our financial systems. Last week, we released a statement from our President & CEO addressing the crisis happening in our country and our reinforced commitment to closing the racial wealth divide.

As we discuss “Homeownership Now and After COVID-19,” we continue to work for affordable housing and the opportunity of homeownership in the face of changing times. This month we are spotlighting an array of housing partners to discuss the challenges of serving their communities and protecting homeownership while envisioning the future through key principles. While this crisis presents many challenges, it is also an opportunity to change how we work by reflecting on the lessons of the recovery from the Great Recession and longstanding housing inequities. We are encouraging housing and related organizations to reposition their priorities and programming and to prepare for what comes next.
