Less than half of Black households earn the minimum income needed to purchase a home as compared to whites, illustrating the homeownership gap and wealth disparity for people of color, women, people with disabilities, indigenous people and members of the LGBTQ community, according to a recent C.A.R. report.
The Californians Need Housing Now initiative urges the Legislature to enact policies that address California’s worsening housing affordability crisis with increased housing supply and fair housing reforms. Specifically, the bills address the historic and ongoing inequities facing Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) that have made it harder for these communities to access and afford housing in California
Fair Housing and Equity legislative solutions include requiring California real estate professionals to take implicit bias training, removing discriminatory language in property records, prohibiting discrimination against people living in affordable housing, repealing Article 34 of the California Constitution and eliminating forced partition sales.
