The Washington Informer 2024 Homeownership Special Issue
Your Path to Homeownership: Tips, Insights, and Financial Solutions!
Today’s housing market can easily take “a whole lotta tryin’ just to get up that hill” of owning a home.
For many in the U.S., who have the financial means, buying a home is a rather simple activity, particularly–plainly stated–when you’re white.
On the contrary, for Black homebuyers around the country–even those who are financially secure–the process of buying a home can often mimic a defensive driving course due to discrimination in lending, racist home appraisals, and lack of resources.
It is critical the percentage for Black homeownership increases because the path to becoming home secure leads to long-term financial well-being, stability, and the opportunity to legacy build. The federal government, and specifically, Washington, D.C. and Prince George’s County administrations have implemented several initiatives to specifically ensure Black residents have an opportunity to finally get a piece of the pie. Knowing what those programs are, who is eligible and how to access them is key.
