�鶹��Ƶ

As part of the firm’s commitment to driving solutions for financial wealth building, �鶹��Ƶ is doubling down on its investment to tackle the issue of heirs property, which is a property rights issue that presents significant barriers to homeownership and generational wealth building. Currently, there are estimated to be more than in the United States, totaling 9 million acres valued at over $41 billion. The firm’s philanthropic support is the latest in a broader effort underway to drive research, education, policy reform, and legal support to fortify property rights for homeowners and their heirs.

During a co-hosted reception in New Orleans with Players Coalition members and leading heirs property experts, �鶹��Ƶ announced $6.3 million in philanthropic capital to 11 nonprofit organizations committed to resolving heirs property issues across the United States. This includes $300k to in New Orleans, which will help People’s Housing+ provide technical assistance and legal services to families in order to resolve title and ownership issues on inherited property.

The Players Coalition also announced a $500,000 grant commitment to support efforts advancing Black generational wealth across the country, including an initial $100,000 investment in Louisiana to support efforts by Louisiana Appleseed, Southeast Louisiana Legal Services, and Acadiana Legal Service Corporation to address heirs property issues.

The problem of heirs property occurs when a homeowner dies without a will and their property is informally inherited by multiple descendants. This often leads to legal challenges or forced sales that strip families of the equity built in their home. These consequences are felt by families in both rural and urban areas and disproportionately impacts those who have lower levels of wealth or income.

"Today’s heirs property announcement is part of our broader strategy to boost housing affordability, build wealth and contribute to vibrant, thriving communities," said Nia Hope, Chief of Staff, Corporate Responsibility at �鶹��Ƶ. "By addressing the complex challenges of heirs property through policy, philanthropic and business solutions, we want to help families in New Orleans and across the country preserve their generational wealth and empower them to secure a legacy of financial stability.”

"Tackling heirs property issues isn’t simply about preserving land. It’s about restoring agency to families and safeguarding assets for future generations,” said Malcolm Jenkins, Players Coalition Co-Founder. “Through our work with �鶹��Ƶ and community partners, we’re proud to help equip families with the tools to hold onto their homes and transform generational wealth from aspiration to reality—one legacy at a time."

Today’s announcement builds on the initiative �鶹��Ƶ launched last year to leverage the firm’s policy expertise and advocacy efforts, which includes support for  the Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act (UPHPA), philanthropic investments and business tools to support family wealth preservation.
