Renee Flood Wright is a 51 year-old Black woman born and raised in D.C. She is a visual artist, teacher, mother of two, and longtime affordable housing community activist at Urban Village on Newton Street. She has been a tireless community leader who has stayed the course of her values and convictions, to finally achieve what seemed impossible for her family and her building: A unique affordable housing partnership where longtime residents will share in the ownership and in the cashflow profits of the building where they have spent most of their lives and raised their families. Her long-term wish is for D.C. to find balance, so that the current disparities and social unrest may stop and give rise to the great livable city that people from all walks of life, but especially longtime Black residents, should be able to enjoy living in.
