Championing Homeownership to Close the Racial Wealth Gap Our Vision California Community Builders envisions a nation where everyone has a safe place to call home a home that helps build economic opportunity rather than undercuts it enabling individuals and families to pursue their dreams. We seek a society in which communities of color have their full share of economic power in which the economic and racial injustices of the past are replaced by vibrant diverse communities where all residents can build wealth own a home if they choose and fulfill their full potential. Our Mission California Community Builders seeks to close the racial wealth gap by focusing on the core issue of housing and homeownership. Taking a datadriven outcomesfocused approach we research and advocate for policies that promote wealthbuilding and tear down barriers created by redlining exclusionary zoning and all forms of discrimination.
