EQUITY AND INCLUSION -- Part 9

Planning, Zoning and other Land Use Policy Best Practices to Erase Errors of the Past that Perpetuated Bias and Deepened Inequality 

BAR is addressing environmental justice by working with a Jefferson County commissioner to build new, ADA-compliant, three-bedroom houses that will be worth about $100,000 but sold to qualifying families for around $50,000. 

Along with providing safe, affordable housing, the initiative will help build equity in greater Birmingham when it is formally defined and launched in 2021.

“REALTORS advocate for property rights – just because that adds value to the (real estate) industry, but also because it adds value to the community. BAR uses a lot of NAR tools for community building,” Baylor said.
