Persistent racial and income disparities in homeownership remain a key driver of the wealth gap in California and across the United States. This webinar will explore policy and programmatic strategies to expand access to homeownership for low-income and first-time homebuyers, with a specific focus on those typically underserved by the credit market.
The panel will examine shared equity mortgage models, credit-building initiatives, and other innovative approaches to increasing long-term, sustainable homeownership.
Panelists include:
- Noerena Limón, CEO, Casita Coalition
- Ellen Martin, Director of Homeownership, California Housing Finance Agency
- Kara Murray-Badal, Director of the Housing Venture Lab, Terner Labs
- Dustin Swonder, PhD Candidate, UC Berkeley Economics Department
Carolina Reid, Faculty Research Advisor at the Terner Center for Housing Innovation, will moderate the discussion.
