ABOUT NEHEMIAH INITIATIVE

Inspired by Martin Luther King’s concept of the Beloved Community, NIS’ mission is to empower Black people in the Seattle region and beyond to retain historically Black institutions by advocating for the development of real property assets owned by those institutions. 

Our mission is to stem the rate of the displacement of Black urban populations and retain the remaining Black residents and businesses by providing affordable housing and business space opportunities on property currently owned by Black Institutions.

As advocates for this cause, we provide property development knowledge training, community organizing and public policy influence in an effort to empower predominantly Black Institutions in fostering economic growth and strengthening of a beloved community.
