    They’re Spending in the Neighborhood, but Not Working In It.
    This weekend, I saw it with my own eyes—Black communities spending hard-earned dollars in fast food restaurants, but not working behind the counter. No jobs, no ownership, no economic circulation.

    When money leaves our neighborhoods, so does the TIF funding—that means no garbage cans, no street repairs, no youth programs, and no growth.

    We don’t learn about money in our communities. And that’s the real crisis.

    So I asked:
    If you had to build a program for an underfunded Black neighborhood, what would it look like?

    Here’s my answer:
    🟩 The National Tenant Union Fellowship House™
    A 3–4 month program for 40 youth (ages 18–24) offering:
    ✔️ Financial Literacy
    ✔️ Job Readiness
    ✔️ 6-Week GED Support
    ✔️ $5,000 Completion Stipend
    ✔️ Skills + Structure = A Different Future

    We are shifting our people from consumers to creators.

    🔥 Join us today as a member of the National Tenant Union™:

    💔 And if you're moved to give—we’re raising funds to stop the eviction of a senior cancer survivor who’s lived in her home for 20 years.
    No donation is too small. This is what community care looks like:

    Let’s start choosing different.

  • AMI? Is this why I didn't get approved for that unit?
    Let's find out why you didn't get that apartment. AMI (Area Median Income) plays a huge part. We breakdown the metrics used to calculate AMI. This will give you a chance to apply for affordable housing apartments you qualify for.
