The Black homeownership rate stands at just 44%, compared to 72.3% for white households — a gap that has persisted despite the Fair Housing Act of 1968, national programs, and ongoing advocacy. The gap reflects decades of redlining, discriminatory lending, and exclusionary zoning that government programs have only partially addressed. The Callais ruling, by reducing Black legislative power, weakens the very oversight mechanisms that enforce the Fair Housing Act. 🔗 washingtoninformer.com The Washington Informer
