Meet Taamre Solen
A budding writer & winner of the Children's Essay Contest!

For this year's Children Essay Contest, HAND invited elementary school-aged children to share their personal experiences over the last year.
We received so many well-written submissions, but it was undeniable that the gripping poem titled "A Moment in Time" penned by Taamre Solen, shone the brightest. Solen is a 5th-grader and participant in AHC, Inc.'s resident service program.
Congratulations again, Taamre!
We can't wait to hear you recite your poem on June 25!

Removing the Barriers, Unlocking Access for Black & Brown Developers
Brought to you by JPMorgan Chase
Even in the midst of the growing housing affordability challenge, black and brown real estate developers are still met with the obstacle of accessing the capital needed to execute their plans to revitalize communities. Confronting the idea of “a seat at the table,” this moderated dialogue will feature leaders in finance and real estate development who can speak candidly about these difficulties and solutions to drive more equitable outcomes for HAND members and other stakeholders.

Putting the Community Back in Community Development
Brought to you by Capital One
The GateBridge Community represents an innovative approach to mixed-income, mixed-use affordable housing - one that centers placemaking, closing the racial wealth gap, and building more diverse, inclusive, and equitable economies. GateBridge works in partnership with mission-aligned organizations to build permanently affordable, limited equity cooperative housing anchored by a community development incubator. By building bridges for renters to become resident-owners and employees to become worker-owners, GateBridge recycles income within the community and builds community wealth, leadership, and resilience in the process. This captivating discussion will examine the GateBridge model from the perspectives of its founder Professor Anthony Cook and the development, philanthropic, and investor partners needed to bring it to fruition.

A Conversation with Dr. Andre M. Perry | Know Your Price: Valuing Black Lives and Property in America’s Black Cities
Brought to you by Virginia Housing
The deliberate devaluation of communities of color has had very real, far-reaching, and negative economic and social effects. There is a longstanding myth claiming that brutal conditions in Black communities are mainly the result of Black people’s collective choices and moral failings. Dr. Andre Perry, a respected educator, journalist and scholar, reminds us that there is nothing wrong with Black people that ending racism can’t solve. For decades, we haven’t known how much the country will gain by properly valuing homes and businesses, family structures, voters, and school districts in Black neighborhoods. And there is no better time than the present to understand this information. Perry's most recent publication, Know Your Price: Valuing Black Lives and Property in America’s Black Cities, takes readers on a tour of six Black-majority cities whose assets and strengths are undervalued. Join us for an exciting and informative dialogue on his findings, a call to action for the real estate and community development industry post-pandemic; and how we can hold leadership accountable as we pursue more equitable outcomes in our communities.
