Starting in Baltimore, Ashoka Fellow Bree Jones sees an opportunity to restore neighborhoods that have rich histories but are experiencing hyper-vacancy due to decades of disinvestment and systemic inequities. Working with first-time home buyers and an array of city actors, she is catalyzing block-level restoration and building the wealth of Black residents – without displacing legacy neighbors.
