Mayor Turner Sylvester attended the Wells Fargo WORTH Houston news conference Tuesday to announce a program that will boost home ownership.

The new initiative will expand homeownership opportunities for Black, Hispanic, and other underserved individuals and families. Turner announced that the Wells Fargo Foundation gifted a $7.5 million grant through the LISC Houston and the Harris County Homeownership Collaborative to make an impact in closing racial gaps in home ownership.

“Homeownership is one of the first steps towards building generational wealth and one that has been historically and systematically limited for Black and Brown families,” Turner said.

Houston/Harris County "wins" again.

What, do they use some sort of Nazi race chart to confirm ethnicity or can you just ID as black or brown for the money?

Just a repeat of the shitstorm they caused in 2006.
You cannot get a bunch of people with poor credit to change their ways.
Especially if you refuse to enforce the laws.
Imagine putting a bunch of squatters in expensive homes and nobody being able to evict them because they're black...and the DA refuses to prosecute them.

not loans but grants? It could reduce homelessness if nothing else.

Just buying votes. Why don't you just kick all of the whites out of their homes and give them to blacks.
Inflation is going to cause millions to lose their homes....and these idiots are literally giving those homes to people that won't have to pay a cent for them.....which will turn those neighborhoods into hoods and slums.

That's hoods and barrios.

I'd take the barrio if I'm choosing.....By a mile.
