About Parity Homes
Parity innovatively unlocks gridlocked housing markets by leveraging the social capital of existing neighbors. We create upfront demand for affordable homeownership opportunities in neighborhoods experiencing hyper-vacancy by helping residents, families, and social collectives purchase homes together--block by block--as a means of wealth-building and community-building.
We remove systemic barriers to neighborhood revitalization through innovative acquisition and rehabilitation methods, restoring long-abandoned homes and selling them at deeply affordable price points. Our work is guided by racial equity, intersectionality, and development without displacement.
