A Dynamic Duo! The Power of Collaboration in Addressing Housing Inequality

I’m excited to announce a new partnership and the opportunity to collaborate with smart successful leaders that lead with Diversity and Inclusion at the core of their business.

Together with other industry leaders, I’m working with Dr. Christie Cade. We are leading HouseATL‘s Homeownership Working Group mission: a multi-disciplinary group of community stakeholders and residents to outline strategies and goals to increase affordable and sustainable homeownership in the Atlanta metro area for low and moderate-income households, with a focus on Black and Brown families who have historically had lower ownership rates.  The geographic target area is the 5-county metro Atlanta region of Fulton, DeKalb, Clayton, Gwinnett, and Cobb counties. 

“Our goal is simple: to economically empower low, middle income and BIPOC communities to achieve the dream of building a pathway to generational wealth through homeownership and to foster inclusivity in one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the US – ATLANTA!”

Karen Hatcher, CPM® and Dr. Christie Cade Apppointed to Co-Chair Homeownership with HouseATL

As a Certified Property Manager (CPM®) with a strong property management and real estate development background, “I am passionate about advancing affordable housing and providing families with the resources to become homeowners. It’s my passion and how we lead at our  SOVEREIGN companies.” 😊

Dr. Cade, a fellow collaborator and the Vice President of NeighborWorks America’s Southern Region, is an expert in urban policy and holds a Ph.D. in Urban Planning and Public Policy. She has devoted her career to studying the effects of housing and community development.
