Historically, real estate development in the United States has been characterized by racist and extractive practices, contributing to the ever increasing disparities in wealth and wellbeing for communities of color. LocalCode is flipping the script, turning real estate development over to local leaders, serving the needs of their communities, and building in local ownership for long term generation of wealth and wellbeing. The organization provides tools, resources, mentorship, and financing for authentic local leaders to become the leading developers in their communities. LocalCode helps these leaders take on significant real estate projects with local ownership built into the business model, generating wealth in the community. This has a catalytic effect. Building wealth positively impacts every aspect of wellbeing, from health, to education, to civic participation, to the ability to weather crises, and to invest in the future and pursue meaningful and higher paid work - ultimately leading to local economic resiliency.
