Why Homeownership?
In addition to building wealth, homeownership correlates with increased political and community participation, higher life satisfaction, and allows families to invest in their children’s education. So, when people of color are denied access to homeownership, they are denied access to a powerful tool towards a high quality of life. Homeownership:
Eliminates a root cause of the wealth gap
Is the best pathway out of poverty
Invests in your family’s future
Leads to improved education and health
