“Users shared a 40-second clip of Vice President Harris, who is heard saying: 'It is our lowest-income communities and our communities of color that are most impacted by these extreme conditions. And impacted by issues not of their own making'. Priyanka Chopra Jonas adds, 'and women,' to which Harris can be heard responding: 'Absolutely. And so, we have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity. Understanding that we need to fight for equality but also equity. Not everyone starts out at the same place. And sometimes, we have to take into account those disparities, and do that work.'
Equity in Action
A Response to Ensure Access to Capital for Developers of Color


HAND and Greystone are pleased to partner on Equity in Action! This initiative honors our commitment to center racial equity, allows us to model for our members what it means to start unraveling racial inequities, and creates equitable solutions aimed at BIPOC real estate developers who are met with the obstacle of accessing the capital needed to execute their plans to revitalize communities.

Equity in Action offers a debt and equity platform designed to increase opportunity for black and brown real estate developers who seek to create communities where all can thrive. Join us in shaping the next chapter of housing development in our region. 

ALL institutional HAND Members are eligible to participate. Developers of color are strongly encouraged to apply.
