OWNCincy Advancing Equity and Expanding Access to Homeownership
The 2024 OWN Cincy Homeownership Symposium was nothing short of extraordinary. With more than 750 attendees, the energy, engagement, and enthusiasm reaffirmed the importance of empowering communities through sustainable homeownership.
Formerly known as OWN BLK Cincy, the newly rebranded OWN Cincy continues to advance its mission of promoting housing equity and expanding access to homeownership across Cincinnati—particularly within historically underserved Black communities.
The 2025 symposium, August 9 & 10, promises to build on last year’s success, featuring:
-
Dynamic workshops led by expert panelists and trusted community voices
-
Resources from community housing partners and lenders
-
Dozens of moderators, speakers, and volunteers united by the goal of increasing Black homeownership in Greater Cincinnati
The REALTOR® Alliance of Greater Cincinnati (RAGC) is proud to support this important effort. As part of our commitment, RAGC has appointed two members of the 2025 Advocacy Committee, Patty Hoff with Heartland Bank and Kara Whitesell with eXp Realty, to serve on Vice Mayor Jan-Michele Lemon Kearney’s Steering Committee for this year’s event. Their involvement ensures that REALTORS® remain actively engaged in efforts to increase access, build equity, and expand opportunity in every neighborhood.
RAGC is honored to stand with our partners and community leaders to amplify this message:
Black homeownership matters.
