DC Needs of More Affordable Homes

Revival does all the work to get the home safe, compliant and ready for a family. If we aren’t able to maintain affordability, we will say so and help however we can with the sale of your home.
Lawn Care for Senior Homeowners
Do you know of a senior homeowner, age 65 or over in need of assistance with lawn care? Revival provides free of charge lawn care to senior homeowners on a fixed budget to help them age in place.
Black Home Ownership Rates
-
As of 2024, the Black homeownership rate is around 44%, significantly lower than the national average of 65%.
-
The Black-white homeownership gap remains wide—about 30 percentage points—and is larger now than it was in 1968, when the Fair Housing Act was passed.
-
A 20-point increase in Black homeownership would generate hundreds of billions of dollars in household wealth. For example, the Urban Institute estimated that closing the Black-white homeownership gap could result in $352 billion in cumulative Black household wealth.
