Expanding affordable housing and promoting homeownership requires addressing systemic barriers that have long excluded Black communities from building wealth. Elected officials must tackle ongoing discrimination in mortgage lending, where Black applicants face an 80% higher denial rate, and invest in protecting Black neighborhoods from displacement.
