While millions of everyday people throughout the nation are in the throes of a fair and affordable housing crisis, struggling to pay rent or afford a home. President Trump called this the "golden age of America." #SOTU2026

President Trump said he would bring back the American Dream. Instead, he has directed the federal government to weaken crucial fair lending rules that provide women, one of the fastest growing groups of new homeowners, fair access to credit. #SOTU2026

The @federalreserve.gov $40B monthly MBS purchases during COVID still impact affordability, and the actions didn't benefit the whole of the market equally. Congress needs to pass a housing bill with supply-side and demand-side solutions for #FirstGenHome. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/23/b...

The Black homeownership rate was 46.4% before attacks on fair housing and lending. Today, it is 43.4%. #FirstGenHome would help 1.7M mortgage ready Black people overcome the primary barrier to owning a home, a lack of a down payment. #DefendCivilRights #BHM2026 www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Instead of enforcing the Fair Housing Act during the nation's fair and affordable housing crisis, the Trump Administration is attacking a key fair housing rule that ensures people are not segregated from opportunity. 1/5 #FHAct #DefendCivilRights www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

The Federal Housing Finance Agency repealed a fair lending rule that helped increase access to homeownership for borrowers of all races from 2022-2024 and generated $17.2B in economic impact. The last time regulators retreated from fair lending enforcement, the housing sector and economy crash.🤷🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🙅🏾‍♀️

Trump posting a meme depicting Black people as apes was totally about economic anxiety, y’all.

@janainelson.bsky.social spoke truth tonight on @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social. We cannot become numb to the horrendous acts of racism, and the vision forward must be as a multiracial democracy with shared power. Each of us should be working toward an America as good as promised. #BHM2026 1/2

Let’s make it viral folks. Thank you @histoftech.bsky.social.

President and First Lady Obama are the epitome of public servants. The racist vitriol direct at them is also showing up in our schools. Our children are being attacked by similar actions and statements. As Dr. King stated there comes a time when silence is betrayal.

@repmaxinewaters.bsky.social— a modern champion advancing equity and dismantling discriminatory housing practices. We stand on their shoulders as we continue the fight for fair and affordable housing. #FairHousing #BHM

Voters want solutions to drive down the cost of housing. Federal legislation to drive increased housing supply and funding for first-generation homebuyers and increased funding for Housing Choice Vouchers is needed. They didn't demand a piecemeal approach. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/b...

@warnock.senate.gov, @warren.senate.gov, & others sent a letter to #CFPB Acting Director Vought (key architect of #Project2025) urging the agency to rescind its proposal that would gut fair lending tool that helps Black people & more get fair credit. #BHM2026 www.banking.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

The homeownership rate for young Black people is declining while the homeownership rate for young White people is growing. Hudgov.bsky.social's weakening of a key fair lending tool will not help to close the gap and create fair access. #BlackHistoryMonth2026 www.redfin.com/news/homeown...

Q: Why's the Supreme Court reluctant to let Trump fire Lisa Cook from the Fed when it has greenlit so many other illegal firings? A: The other firings were at agencies charged with protecting workers and consumers. The Fed is charged with protecting the economy ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/trump...

@secretaryturner.bsky.social, White communities have access to over $15 trillion more in capital because of racialized appraisal practices, and appraisal bias caused homes in Black neighborhoods in 113 metro areas throughout the U.S. to be devalued by $162 billion. bit.ly/45nmh2o

AFFH provides a framework to help local jurisdictions use their housing & community development resources in a way that creates & expands opportunity for everyone @secretaryturner.bsky.social. The Fair Housing Act was intended to remove all barriers to fair housing, including zoning. bit.ly/45nmh2o

The "worst problem you've never heard of" is the leading cause of Black land loss in this country. Over the years, it's seen Black families stripped of hundreds of billions of dollars in land. It's called "heirs' property." From the ProPublica archives:

Dr. King warned us about the “Other America”—where hope is crushed by housing discrimination. Nearly 60 years later, it still exists through redlining, bias & rising costs. Honor his legacy today by becoming a monthly donor. Help build fair, affordable housing for all: https://bit.ly/4qS3jJj

Thank you, @pressley.house.gov. The Trump Administration's attacks on civil rights are harming seniors, who are increasingly becoming one of the largest groups to become homeless. Seniors should be able to count on @hudgov.bsky.social to protect them during the fair and affordable housing crisis.

Funding for first-generation down payment assistance is needed to help owner-occupants beat out institutional investors buying affordable single family homes. States are leading the way and Congress should follow to address the nation's fair and affordable housing crisis. #FairHousingEnforcement

The federal agency that returned billions of dollars to millions of Americans harmed by financial fraud, abuse, and discrimination lives to see another day.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Support to nearly 60,000 first-generation, first-time homebuyers of all races helped to generate $17.2 billion in economic impact from 2022-2024. Addressing the fair and affordable housing crisis will produce a substantial ROI for the broader economy. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The @natfairhouse.bsky.social's #2025FairHousingTrendsReport shows that complaints of housing discrimination are up nearly 20 percent since 2014. @hudgov.bsky.social weakened fair housing enforcement during the fair & affordable housing crisis when it's needed most. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/22/r...
