Episode #16: BHI - From Conversation To Action Featuring: Michael Brown

What does housing justice really look like in practice? In this episode of Around the Block, host Jasmyn Jefferson is joined by Michael Brown, Civic Architect of Civic Commons, for an in-depth conversation about the Black Home Initiative (BHI) and the regional effort to expand Black homeownership across the Puget Sound. Michael shares the origins of BHI, the data behind the racial wealth gap, and the historical policies that created today’s housing disparities. They discuss why BHI was intentionally built as a collaborative network, how cross-sector partnerships are reshaping access to homeownership, and what real progress looks like when systems change, not just programs. Topics covered include: • The long-term impacts of redlining and racially restrictive covenants • Why homeownership is central to generational wealth • How the Black Home Initiative works across public, private, and community sectors • The Covenant Homeownership Act and measurable outcomes to date • Why targeted equity efforts strengthen housing systems for everyone Learn more about the Black Home Initiative here: https://www.homeownership-wa.org/bhi/ Special thanks to Sterling Inspection Group, our 2025 podcast room sponsor

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
