Who held the keys 🔑 to the cookout in your family? Mine's easy to answer - it's my grandma’s house! But for too many Black families today, that answer is getting harder to give — shrinking housing supply, rising costs, and fair housing protections that are eroding just when we need them most. I'm moderating "Keys to the Cookout: Unlocking Homeownership in Black Communities" at Congressional Black Caucus Foundation 55th Annual Legislative Conference. I'll be joined by four people who know exactly what's driving this gap and what actually closes it: → Nikitra Bailey, National Fair Housing Alliance → Deanna Hamilton, MS, LISC → Joshua Thomas, Home Depot → Dr. Alex Camardelle, Kindred Futures Thank you to Rep. Nikema Williams for sponsoring this conversation and for her continued work on housing affordability. 📍 Wednesday, Sept. 16 | 2–3pm | Room 145A, Walter E.
