Minority homeownership, which is the focus of this issue, has a lot of moving parts to it. And while there’s much more impacting the growth of minority homeownership than what can fit into the following pages, this issue highlights some of the biggest challenges in increasing homeownership levels, along with ways the industry can band together to create meaningful change.
