Entering homeownership can feel overwhelming and difficult to navigate. Beyond the navigational aspects of homeownership, race and class pose barriers to entry. As we know, Minnesota has one of the nation’s largest racial homeownership gaps. Join East Side Housing Justice in conversation with Bill Gray from the Minnesota Homeownership Center and Seanne Thomas of ABC Realty for a free introductory overview of homeownership. This workshop is intended to provide some basic information to help understand the systems that impact homeownership and how or where to begin.

As Stakeholder Relations Director at the Minnesota Homeownership Center, Bill Gray is responsible for all things communications and public relations, as well as relationship building and serving as lead staff for the Homeownership Opportunity Alliance—an entity co-convened by the Center and Minnesota Housing Finance Agency.

Seanne Thomas is the owner of ABC Realty. ABC Realty is a boutique real estate agency on the East Side of Saint Paul. They work across cultures to break down barriers to homeownership, specializing in helping first-time homebuyers and new immigrants find a house and a neighborhood that truly fits their needs. They have agents who speak a variety of languages and work with translators in order to keep pace with the ever-changing demographics of the East Side.

Free and open to all
