SUMMARY:Just Economy Conversations: New Frontiers in Financing Homes
DESCRIPTION:Innovation\, technology\, and shared equity are reshaping access to homeownership and creating new pathways for building wealth. With $44 trillion of U.S. wealth tied up in housing\, a new generation of tools and approaches—spanning blockchain\, shared equity models\, and impact-driven capital—offer alternatives to traditional ownership structures. Our panelists are leading efforts to integrate policy\, technology\, and community-driven investment strategies that keep homes in the hands of families and neighbors\, not corporations.

SUMMARY:Utah Housing Coalition's May Monthly Partner Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Join NCRC Senior Director of Research Jason Richarson as he hosts Utah Housing Coalition’s May Monthly Partner Meeting. Richardson will provide an in-depth exploration of Utah’s redlining history and its contemporary impact. \n\n\n\nThrough interactive data visualization and historical documents\, we’ll examine how discriminatory housing practices became embedded through government policies\, social pressures\, and structural barriers in lending. The presentation will connect historical redlining maps with modern mortgage data spanning 40 years\, revealing how century-old patterns continue to shape today’s communities across both urban and rural Utah. We’ll analyze the resulting disparities in wealth accumulation\, health outcomes\, and economic opportunity for Utah residents. \n\n\n\nThe session concludes with concerning new mortgage findings from 2024 that indicate homeownership is increasingly becoming accessible only to those with existing wealth. Throughout the presentation\, you’ll have ample opportunities to engage with the data through interactive tools and participate in Q&A discussions.
