The Legacy Project

Closing the racial wealth gap by creating paths to homeownership and empowering families to keep and build intergenerational wealth

The Legacy Project was initiated in 2010 as a path to helping local families and business owners to build legacy through anti-gentrification practices, homeownership and small business education, and financial resources such as low-cost estate planning.

Since then, NHS has continued to engage in community outreach, engagement, and activities to develop social capital and collective empowerment. Our goal is to build intergenerational wealth, stabilize neighborhoods, rejuvenate blighted properties, and increase or stabilize residential and commercial property values.

In partnership with the Association of Black Estate Planning Professionals, and local estate planning attorneys, we provide estate planning services for 10% of costs to income-eligible families. This service is free of charge for LA wildfire survivors.

I wanted to leave my family a legacy, and ensure they have somewhere to live when I’m gone. Kennedy Law Firm was very enlightening. They clarified legalities and made me feel so comfortable that I was able to complete my living trust without reservations.

Legacy is like pushing through water. One should not go through water, or go through life, without making some kind of impact, or wave.

I’m retired and want to leave my estate in order for my two kids and two grandchildren. I want things to pass seamlessly so they can move forward without difficulty. My legacy is a reference to what I have accomplished in my lifetime.

Signing [my estate plan] gave me some relief that the house won’t go on probate. [It’s] for my daughters. I’m more secure now, more comfortable about my legacy, my real estate...anything I might have. Generational wealth is a leg up, a head start.

When I pass, everything will be in order. And while I’m here, I can make decisions about how everything will be handled when I’m gone.

The Legacy Summit was very, very helpful. It helped me with my estate planning. It helped me find a construction worker. It felt like a little family, a community, where we could talk to each other.

Legacy means to pass down to generations the information that’s absolutely necessary for survival.
Jesse Bryant
Growing up, we didn’t have anything, didn’t expect to have anything passed down to us…so you can see how far we have progressed. And now, praise God! There is a legacy to think about leaving.
Cheryl Reid
As a single mom, I want to make sure that my kids know there’s a future for them even when I’m no longer with them. The estate planning process [with NHS] has made a big impact, because now I feel that my sons are protected. I feel that it’s given me peace of mind.

General wealth building means giving my grandchildren a place to stay, where it’s paid for.
