Homeownership has become increasingly out of reach for many Cailfornians, and new data from the Terner Center indicates that the state lags far behind others in homeownership rates. And those who have been able to buy a home are taking longer to pay off the mortgage, which has implications for wealth building and equitable housing outcomes.
Join us for a webinar on Tuesday, August 15 at noon PT as we dig into our recent work on the topic and identify potential solutions for reversing these trends. Speakers will include Ellen Martin, Director of Homeownership, California Housing Finance Agency, Noerena Limón, Principal, Mariposa Strategies, Jeff Schroeder, Ponderosa Homes and Chair of the California Building Industry Association, and Issi Romem, Founder, MetroSight. Panel will be moderated by our Policy Director David Garcia.
