The Davis Wright Tremaine Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion proudly presented another event focused on the history of restrictive covenants and the future of homeownership for underserved communities.
The disparity in homeownership across the country is staggering. Our panel of experts discussed the history of limited homeownership and racially restrictive covenants, the disparate impact on black and brown communities, and the efforts in place to increase future homeownership opportunities.
We were joined by panelists Michael Brown, Civic Architect at Civic Commons, Ali Sheibani, Director, Homeowner Services at Habitat for Humanity (Seattle-King and Kittitas County), Jared Shepherd, Co-founder of The Just Deeds Project and Partner at Campbell Knutson, and Darryl Smith, Executive Director at Homesight WA. This event was moderated by DWT's Kaitlyn Fallon, Pro Bono Corporate Partnerships Attorney.
