Why this exists
The why is the racial homeownership gap.
Black Home Initiative is a network of public, private, and nonprofit partners. The purpose is social justice: more homes, support for buyers, and fewer barriers. The aim already set is 1,500 foundational Black homeowners by 2028 and 3,000 by 2033. This campaign puts land with Black and mission aligned developers who build those homes.
blackhomeinitiative.org1. Submit your land
Put the land in front of Black and mission aligned developers.
Start with the address. Then a short walk: who owns it, what you want, and what happens next. Intake, evaluation, and initial matching cost nothing. We reply within 1 to 2 business days. This form is for landowners.
2. Choose what you want
Look at the paths. You pick.
This is step 2. You choose how you are interested in moving. You do not have to lock it on day one.
- sell
- partner
- ground lease
- stay and add a home
- wait
- gift
Partner
Build together. We can make the introduction. We do not write the agreement.
Ground lease
Keep the land. Lease it for housing. We explain the idea in plain words. Your counsel handles the lease.
Stay and add
Stay put and add a home: an ADU, DADU, cottage, or multiplex. That path goes to Resource Equity. We come back if you need a builder introduction.
Gift
Give the land. You still choose the terms, with advisors you pick.
Explore, or wait
Ask the questions, then pause. “Not ready” is a full answer. You can also ask to come off active outreach.
4. Publish on your terms
You choose to publish to Black and mission aligned developers.
You get a land report first. Then you choose to publish, on your terms. Developers who opted in have 60 days of visibility. We connect the ones who are interested. An extension is optional. They review it under Opportunities → Land. This page does not publish the listing until you say yes.
Submit your Land firstDevelopers
Black and mission aligned developers opt in on purpose. That opt-in is separate from 1DROP membership and from being a BHI developer. You sign a participation agreement. Parcels show up under Opportunities → Land after the owner says yes. Portal login is not that agreement.
Prefer to talk it through? A Western Washington Realtist can walk with you.

FAQ
Answers if you are stuck
Is this a brokerage?
No. We take land in and make introductions. We do not list properties, represent buyers or sellers, or collect commissions.
What does it cost?
Intake, evaluation, and initial matching cost nothing.
Where do you work?
King County, Pierce County, and Thurston County. The pilot is South King County and North Pierce County.
What happens after I submit?
You are on the owner path. You choose what you want. You get a land report. You choose whether to publish. We reply within 1 to 2 business days. The form does not list your land. Prefer to talk it through? A Western Washington Realtist can walk with you.
Will you share my information?
No. Your details stay with the Clearinghouse until you agree to share them. You can pause. You can ask to come off active outreach.
What does a match mean?
You choose to publish on your terms. Developers who opted in have 60 days of visibility. We connect the ones who are interested. An extension is optional. A connection is an introduction, not a closed deal. If more than one developer wants in, staff recommend a fit and say why in plain language. Scores stay internal.
I want to stay and add a unit.
Say so. Stay-and-add goes to Resource Equity. It is not a standard developer listing. We can line up a builder introduction later if you want one.
I am a developer. How do I join?
Open the member portal to browse Opportunities → Land or to sign in. Clearinghouse opt-in is a separate participation agreement and capacity profile. It is not the same as 1DROP membership or being a BHI developer. Questions about the packet go to the campaign inbox.
Can a church or group refer an owner?
Yes. There is no referral fee. Share this page or email the campaign inbox. Include an owner’s details only with their permission. They still have to agree before anything reaches a developer.
When do you step back?
When a developer and a landowner have been introduced and both say they want to move forward. Then we check in. We do not run the deal.
Another question goes straight to landcampaign@bhi.com.
Scope of service
We connect land and Black and mission aligned developers. That is the job.
We take land in. We screen it. We post consented parcels for developers who opted in.
What the team does
- Take in the parcel and the path you want.
- Review the basics: zoning, lot, access, and utilities.
- Put the options in writing, including the option to wait.
- With your yes, post the parcel and introduce you to Black and mission aligned developers who opted in.
- Check in after an introduction both sides have confirmed.
Outside this service
- List properties for sale or act as a brokerage.
- Represent a buyer or a seller in a deal.
- Collect a commission, or charge for intake, evaluation, or initial matching.
- Set a price, or promise a named developer, a timeline, or a closed deal.
- Give legal advice, lending, underwriting, or a construction guarantee.
- Stay in the lead after you and a developer confirm you want to move forward together.
Trust and privacy
Your land. Your yes. Your information.
No landowner information leaves the Clearinghouse without the landowner's consent.
You call each step
You can stop after you submit. Pause whenever you want.
Your yes comes first
A post and a partner handoff wait for a clear yes. Until then, the notes stay with the Clearinghouse team.
You can come off the list
Email the campaign inbox to pause or pull your information out of active follow-up.
This page is not a listing board
The form takes in the parcel. It lands in Knowledge DROP, under Opportunities → Land, only after it is campaign-ready and you have consented. We do not publish it here.
