Residents of Desert Highlands Gateway Estates, a historically Black neighborhood, are once again being pushed out of their community, this time through real estate investors.

Desert Highlands saw an increase in residency after communities of color were forced out of Section 14 housing in the 1960s.

The average price of homes in the area has more than tripled over the last 2 years.

We need more affordable housing, NOT house flipping.

We Lift: The Coachella Valley Housing Catalyst Fund is requesting $15M in the state budget to spur affordable housing development. This one-time investment will jumpstart the production of more than 2,500 shovel-ready affordable housing units over the next 24 months.

We have over 350 petition signatures so far. Can you help us reach our goal of 500?

Los residentes de Desert Highlands Gateway Estates, un vecindario históricamente Afroamericano, están siendo expulsados ​​​​una vez más de su comunidad, esta vez a través de inversionistas inmobiliarios.

El numero de residentes aumento significativamente durante los 1960 después de que las comunidades de color fueran expulsadas de sus viviendas y de la Sección 14.

El precio promedio de las casas en esta área se ha triplicado en los últimos 2 años.

Necesitamos más viviendas asequibles, NO la remodelacion y reventa de casas.

We Lift: El Fondo Catalizador de Vivienda del Valle de Coachella está solicitando $15 millones en el presupuesto estatal para estimular el desarrollo de viviendas asequibles.

La inversión única impulsará la producción de más de 2500 unidades de vivienda asequible listas para usar durante los próximos 24 meses.

Tenemos más de 350 firmas de peticiones hasta ahora. ¿Puedes ayudarnos a alcanzar nuestra meta de 500?
