Homeownership Assistance

Homeownership is a crucial way for Americans to build and pass on intergenerational wealth. However, the widening racial wealth gap in the U.S. is largely driven by declines in African American homeownership. Nationally, 73.7 percent of white households own their homes while 44 percent of African Americans own their homes. In NYC, 67 percent of white households own their homes while 32 percent of African American households are homeowners.
