Rim Rights Basketball Initiative

Gentrification in urban neighborhoods often ends in displacement, as rising housing costs drive away long-term inhabitants and break community relationships. Basketball, a sport with strong roots in local culture, may provide an opportunity for addressing these issues. How can basketball projects reduce displacement while preserving community identity in gentrifying neighborhoods? This project explores the role of sports in campaigning for housing equality, building community resilience, and providing long-term solutions to urban inequity. The goal of this initiative is to empower individuals, establish community relationships, and promote fair urban development by combining basketball programs with anti-displacement measures
