Our Racial Moment of Truth: The Infrastructure of Our Divisions and its Impact on Housing Policy
Across the nation, REALTORS® are reckoning with the ongoing effects of housing discrimination, redlining, and allegations of appraisal bias, as well as NAR's own history in limiting homeownership to people of color and contributing to a segregated society. Isabel Wilkerson will discuss her award-winning books, Caste and The Warmth of Other Suns and how their themes of hierarchy and exclusion intersect with housing policy today.
Over the past few years consumers, advocates, and the media, have raised allegations of racial bias in the appraisal process. The Biden Administration has been deeply involved in assessing these claims and determining if changes needed to be made on the national level. This forum brings together key players in the discussion of appraisal bias, representing the federal government and the appraisal regulatory apparatus. Panelists will speak on what they have found in their research and next steps in addressing bias in the appraisal process.
