2024 Fair Housing Champion Award - Shad Bogany

Shadrick Bogany, a prominent figure in Houston real estate, advocates for homeownership as a means of empowerment, particularly within marginalized communities. Bogany's upbringing in subsidized housing instilled in him a desire to achieve stability through homeownership. Witnessing his father's success in property ownership motivated Bogany to purchase his first home at 18, leading to a career in real estate. He now heads the Shad Bogany Team at BHGReal Estate Gary Greene, working to empower others, especially in the Black community, to attain homeownership and financial security. Drawing from his experience, he educates others through workshops and a long-running radio show, challenging misconceptions and promoting fair housing practices. Bogany's dedication extends to political involvement, where he works to create affordable housing initiatives and dismantle systemic barriers. Bogany's commitment to creating opportunities for marginalized communities continues to leave a lasting legacy of empowerment and social change.
