Introducing the Homes for Equity Research Advisory Council

The Homes for Equity Advisory Council helped determine the scope and direction of the our research study, recruited oral history participants, reviewed preliminary findings, pointed us to additional resources, and more. Our gratitude to the Council members, who completed their work in October 2022.
