Equal Housing Opportunities For The Hispanic/Latino Community
The minority homeowner crisis in California is an increasingly harmful problem in and around the Bay Area. Marcela Davison Aviles is the executive director of the Latino Community Foundation and she addresses this problem, “A recent report by the Greenlining Institute that indicates that California has the second lowest homeownership rate in the nation. In California, only 56 percent of the population owns a home, versus 68.4 percent nationally. Additionally, just 44 percent of California’s Hispanic and Latino families are homeowners, compared to 72 percent among non-minorities. If this current gap in homeownership persists, California’s Latino population will not only represent the state’s new majority, but also its largest caste of renters.” There is a very large issue with homeowner discrimination in California. The Latino Community Foundation aims to educate on this discriminatory issue.
