Building Black Development | American Black Journal and BridgeDetroit Virtual Town Hall

American Black Journal and BridgeDetroit team up to host town hall on Black real estate development.

American Black Journal host Stephen Henderson leads a virtual town hall on Black real estate development, where he examines the challenges residents and developers face at every stage of the process — from the onset through completion.  

Through a series of three panels, town hall panelists examine the barriers for Black real estate developers entering the industry, the lack of access to capital, the gender-based barriers of being a woman in a male-dominated industry, the fluctuating supply chain around material costs and availability, the impact of inflation, and the shortage of workers that's been revealed and exacerbated by the pandemic. 

The town hall is broken up into three panels:
1. Black Women Developers
2. Neighborhood Black Developerment
3. Financing & Other Assistance for Developers

Plus, panelists discuss some of the solutions that are helping to build up and support Black development in the city, and the benefits that could come from greater diversity in real estate development.
