Housing Reparations: Taking Ownership PDX
About this episode
The episode discusses Randal Wyatt's initiative, Taking Ownership PDX, which provides home repairs for Black homeowners to combat gentrification.
In 2020, shortly after the murder of George Floyd, Portland native Randal Wyatt had an idea. As people asked him how they could be better allies to the Black community, he saw an opportunity to address a critical but often overlooked driver of gentrification: home maintenance. Taking Ownership PDX was born, providing free repairs and renovations for Black homeowners, particularly elderly residents at risk of displacement.
