UnidosUS HOME Initiative

Home Ownership Means Equity

Tejano Center President & CEO Adriana Tamez welcomed special guests to a roundtable discussion with UnidosUS and Wells Fargo last weekend. The roundtable focused on the policy framework and systemic change needed to create an equitable ecosystem to promote Latino homeownership.


Following the roundtable, Tejano Center's Housing Program team joined invited partners in welcoming prospective homebuyers in a resource fair open to the public. Attendees received information on a range of resources, empowering them to make informed decisions and take steps towards achieving their homeownership goals.


The UnidosUS HOME initiative will play a role in accelerating homeownership opportunities.
