Housing Equity in Memphis

The first MSH duplex in Memphis, Tennessee

DKGR would like to congratulate Kayla and MSH on this major milestone in their essential mission.

My Sistah’s House has broken ground on the first of twenty duplex units envisioned by founder Kayla Gore. Since June 2020, DKGR has collaborated with MSH and their Housing Justice Committee to prioritize affordable, accessible, high-performance, and trauma-informed housing solutions for Black and Brown Trans women and Gender Non-conforming individuals in Memphis.

DKGR supports the MSH mission and project to provide home ownership opportunities for those who face chronic homelessness compounded by targeted gender and sexuality violence.

We would also like to congratulate and thank Dwayne A. Jones Construction Company for providing invaluable technical expertise and overall construction on this project. 

Coming Fall 2021, a new National Geographic six-part docuseries, ‘Impact,’ produced by Gal Gadot and Jaron Varsano will celebrate and feature My Sistah’s House and their mission for Housing Equity in Memphis.
