This stark reality highlights the persistent disparities in our communities and underscores the urgent need for action to address the growing housing crisis.like redlining, segregation, wage gaps, etc., keep many from homeownership. That’s the bad news.
Affordable homeownership is about ensuring that every person, regardless of background or socioeconomic status, has the chance to achieve the American dream of homeownership.?
