2
By Julia Baker Habitat for Humanity of Orange County hosted the Community Breakfast on Racial Equity in Housing on March 4 at The Carolina Inn. The morning included a panel discussion on racial disparities in housing and how the nonprofit’s programming addresses these inequities across the county. In 2021, more than $500,000 was invested into Black-owned homes through Habitat’s Home Preservation program. Deborah Holt Noel, host of “Black Issues Forum” and “NC Weekend” on PBS North Carolina, moderated the program. Panelists included U.S. Rep. David Price, Urban Institute fellow and former senior advisor at the National Economic Council Jim Parrott and Kimberly Cameron, executive director of N.C. A&T Real Estate Foundation and chair of the North Carolina Housing Coalition. Photography by Ellen Shannon CHM
