The HBCU Realty Fund, a subsidiary of HBCU Wall Street, founded by Jamerus Payton and Torrence Reed, is an investment vehicle for real estate and home ownership that serves as a solution for the revitalization of communities around our nation’s HBCUs. In order for our institutions to remain competitive and attractive with other institutions, we must remove the stigma often associated with their host communities. By decreasing dilapidated the housing around them, our mission is to help decrease poor services, street crime and general economic suffering. Additionally, many prospective students and parents will have to focus less on the safety and and appearances of the communities around our historical institutions and more on the quality of education
