“And so Black and Brown people who often have been traditionally eliminated from the opportunity, eliminated from the ability to own, so that they can build generational wealth in their families, they will now have access to that opportunity from this program.”“It’s the absolute best feeling in the world,” Marks said. “No place like home.”The city is working to secure more funding to keep the program alive.
