Housing Security
Cultivating Sustainable Housing and Breaking Environmental & Energy Barriers
Housing has a major effect on voting.
The affordable housing crisis is a primary concern for Black and Brown voters. One of the most damaging effects of racism has been the enabling of redlining and ongoing exploitation by major financial institutions. Far too many BIPOC communities are struggling to recover while rental inventory vanishes and ownership slips out of reach. The crisis creates a feedback loop wherein economically forced transience suppresses political and economic power, locking our people in a harmful cycle.
NNCP is ready to tackle the issue with an inside-outside strategy. Our founder and CEO has developed affordable housing in multiple states, including North Carolina. Under her expertise, we're partnering with leading housing organizations to make sure earmarked funds benefit the BIPOC communities for whom they were intended. We're not content to stop with housing projects and vouchers. We're raising the bar on the quality and safety of affordable housing because our people deserve homes they're proud of.
Alongside our partners, NNCP solidifies the resources and regulatory reform needed to protect BIPOC citizens' rights as renters and owners - and safeguard their investments from predation. Our work here will include door-to-door education and mobilization for policies and leadership that will do the right things.
