PlaceKeepers (PK) is a real estate and small business development program designed to empower and equip Black residents and stakeholders of NEOKC. PK will help to overcome generations of intentional suppression by engaging residents as real estate developers, business owners, and job creators. By using proven models of training and mentoring, seamlessly integrating with NEOKCR’s Developer Network, PK is expected to increase Black led development and homeownership at levels that offset the displacement caused by gentrification.
