AND DONATE TO: Cooper asks that you support Moms4Housing. “It’s an organization that helps black and brown mothers and single moms get into homes. It’s another big pillar of Things We’ve Made—one of our project’s long term goals is creating a community land trust organization that helps black women have ownership of homes. It’s helping them get into homes and get home ownership. It’s going to be a really tough couple of years, and I would hate to see families affected by homelessness.”
