According to a study by NYU’s Furman Center, the share of Black residents in Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood shrunk from 74.9% in 2000 to about 46% in 2018. The neighborhood has seen widening wealth disparity and increasing gentrification during the last two decades. With the pandemic still raging, the historically Black-led local community there has been disproportionately affected. Businesses have struggled or shuttered entirely, and the vast majority of Black families are unable to cover the costs due to national wage inequality and systemic racism. According to the Census Bureau, Black millennials (meaning those between the ages of 21 and 36) had a homeownership rate of just 16% in 2017. This number is just less than one-third of the rate among white millennials.

Faced with these dire statistics, four women (three of whom have lived in the neighborhood for many years) are working to turn the tide with @buildingblackbedstuy, a new fundraising organization providing financial support to Black neighborhood residents.
