HOME PRESENTS

How biased practices in credit & lending contribute to housing inequality & instability.

We are proud to announce our latest exhibit: Credit Inequality & Housing Access! This exhibit will be open for walk-in viewings during normal business hours at select Richmond and Chesterfield Libraries for the next few months. We also will be hosting several public talks where our Executive Director, Thomas Okuda Fitzpatrick, will discuss the work HOME is doing to change the housing landscape in the region, and how bias practices in credit and lending contribute to housing inequity and instability.

About the Exhibit

Housing Opportunities Made Equal of Virginia presents “Credit Inequality and Housing Access” examining how biased practices in credit and lending contribute to housing inequality and instability. The homeownership gap between Black and White homeowners is greater today than it was 50 years ago. The exhibit and talk will examine how credit disparities and dual credit markets of mainstream and fringe financial services providers have contributed to this racial homeownership gap, the profound consequences of these practices, and how to change these systems of inequities.
