The Black Homeownership Collaborative Announced as Ivory Prize 2023 Top 25 Finalist


Top 25 Finalists for 2023 Ivory Prize for Housing Affordability Announced


The Black Homeownership Collaborative is excited to announce that we have been selected as a Top 25 finalist for the 2023 Ivory Prize for Housing Affordability, a national award to recognize ambitious, feasible, and scalable solutions to housing affordability. We are honored to be a part of this group of finalists that are presenting tangible solutions as Americans are increasingly priced out of safe and affordable housing. 


"The Black Homeownership Collaborative casts an important and timely spotlight on the cultural relevance of the Black homeownership gap in the context of widespread acknowledgement of structural discrimination across many U.S. industries and institutions. Addressing the vectors of the homeownership gap under such a cross-sector collaborative offers an opportunity to redress some of the material harms of past and present practices, and to expand access for African Americans to the potential wealth building of homeownership," said Cy Richardson, BHC Co-Chair and Senior Vice President for Programs at the National Urban League.


The 2023 Top 10 Ivory Prize Finalists will be announced in April, and the final Ivory Prize Winners will be announced in May. $300,000 in prize money will be distributed between at least three winners selected across the three award categories — construction and design, public policy and regulatory reform, and finance.
