Description: For much of Denver’s history, mortgage lending and real estate redlining practices prevented many people of color from investing in a home and building intergenerational wealth. The Dearfield Fund with Gary Community Ventures aims to right this injustice by offering first-time Black homebuyers in the Denver metro area up to $40,000 in downpayment assistance.
