Pedcor for the People
|Inclusivity Institute
Few human decisions are more important to household and community stability than a family’s choice of where to live.
But that has not always been the case for every American, especially African Americans and Latinos, who have faced a history of housing segregation. Owning a home is all but an impossible dream for an increasing number of poor families. Starting in mid-2019, Pedcor has worked with the non-profit The Inclusivity Institute to help research, outreach, and collaborate to reduce racial and economic segregation in American housing markets. The Inclusivity Institute largely focuses on the problem of housing segregation on a national basis, and works with the top research scholars, planners, community activists, developers, and bankers to develop strategies that efficiently work towards creating measurable change in making our communities inclusive.
Pedcor is a very reputable organization and responsible corporate citizen that adds substantial value to the communities where they develop. A community should welcome them. I don’t know if there’s ever been a workforce housing development better than the one they developed in Crystal Lake, IL [referring to Congress Parkway Apartments].
