This week, tech news site Technical.ly reported on the launch of the RiseUp Fund. The nonprofit, created by Houwzer, states that its mission is to “accelerate generational wealth of the underserved through homeownership.” Houwzer will continue to support the organization through every transaction: for each home bought or sold through Houwzer, the company will donate $100 to the RiseUp Fund.
Technical.ly is one of 20+ news organizations producing Broke in Philly, a collaborative reporting project on solutions to poverty and the city’s push toward economic justice.
