National Black Wealth Building Day
NAREB activated the Building Black Wealth Tour initiative to encourage more families and individuals to purchase homes. Working with the African American Mayors Association and the National Bar Association, the events in more than 100 cities nationwide empower Black communities with steps towards homeownership, property investment, starting a business, and other wealth-building opportunities. Each event includes classes, workshops, and one-on-one counseling. Other partners include Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.
State of Housing in Black America
NAREB’s 2022 State of Housing in Black America (SHIBA)report found that Black millennials today purchase homes at lower rates than previous generations of Black millennials and millennials from other racial and ethnic groups. Their study found that as Blacks near age 40, they have a homeownership rate about 10 percentage points lower than that of Black Gen Xers and baby boomers at the same age, and the rate is trending sharply downward. This trend, if it continues, could result in at least 900,000 fewer Black homeowners by 2040 than if younger Black renters achieved homeownership at the same rate as Black baby boomers.
