The wealth gap and an individual's availability to housing, in a way, work interchangeably. Without having the money to support oneself, a person cannot buy/rent a house and, without property to hold, it is difficult to build long lasting credit and wealth. It’s a never-ending cycle that has been proven difficult to break from for the majority of South Floridians. In the U.S, history has not permitted many ethnic Americans the opportunity to create long-lasting generational wealth and the wealth gap is currently wider than it's ever been.
In this oral history project, we will break down this vicious cycle through the three different perspectives of the individuals we interviewed during September/October 2022. We hope to shed lighter on the effects of the wealth gap and how the younger generations can work to possibly break this cycle.
