Help Close the Racial Wealth Gap
According to a Federal Reserve Bank study, in Boston the average white household has $247,000 in assets and the average Black household has just $8. For decades, Nuestra has worked to close this racial wealth gap—creating homeownership opportunities, hiring Black- and minority-owned firms on our construction projects, and sponsoring cultural economic development.
