New Program to Boost Developers of Color and Affordable Housing in Dallas
“That support will come in a 16-week program to help developers of color grow their businesses in an industry where they are severely underrepresented.
‘Developers of color often face multiple challenges and obstacles from systematic oppresion, lack of capital, lack of training, lack of knowledge. And with the EDI program, what we are looking to do is support them by providing mentorship, training, technical assistance and most importantly, capital so that they’re able to realize the full potential of their projects,’ Gougis said.
Twenty emerging real estate developers will be selected for the free program that will prepare them to pursue affordable housing projects. They’ll get access to broad-based training, mentorship and financing.”
