On Juneteenth, we mark the end of one chapter and the unfinished work of the chapters that followed.
Homeownership has never been equally accessible in this country. Redlining, discriminatory lending, and exclusionary zoning left generations of Black families locked out of the wealth and stability that a home provides. Jackson County carries that history.
Habitat’s work does not fix that history. But twenty new homeowners — twenty families building equity, stability, and roots in this community — is twenty steps in a better direction.
That is what the 20 by 28 Campaign is for. That is why it matters.
