Real estate diversity program, Project REAP, has named the first fellows to take part in a new initiative to drive money and know-how into building new communities.
The
pilot Open Access Fellowship Program in Community Development Finance will
provide a pathway for black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) to work
in a sector of real estate finance that can help build new communities and improve the health, education and access to wealth of
economically disadvantaged populations.
“REAP is proud to help launch the rollout of Open Access, a program that will increase the representation of persons of color in community development finance,” said REAP chief program officer Osayamen Asemota-Bartholomew.
