Running for Real Estate is a local nonprofit dedicated to offsetting gentrification.
Created by Anthony Bellamy, Running for Real Estate focuses on preventing families — usually from marginalized communities — from being displaced from their homes. This work often includes advocating for policies incentivizing the construction of affordable housing, supporting the acquisition and preservation of existing affordable units and investing in community land trusts, according to the website.
“Nonprofit organizations and affordable housing developers should support, create and preserve affordable housing options within communities facing displacement,” the website states.
The nonprofit also hosts free community events for homeowners, business owners and real estate agents to empower local communities. Running for Real Estate also supports equitable development practices and collaborating with stakeholders to combat gentrification — ensuring residents remain in their homes and neighborhoods.
Running for Real Estate aims to provide affordable housing for low- and moderate-income families and revitalize and stabilize historic neighborhoods by leveraging support from fundraisers, developers and financial institutions.
