📢 @warren.senate.gov is sounding the⏰on the Trump Administration's proposal that would gut the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. Tell the CFPB Director and architect of #Project2025, NO! Women want fair access to mortgages, credit cards, and small business loans. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Jgi...

Instead of solving the fair and affordable housing crisis, @hudgov.bsky.social is attacking basic civil rights. Voters demanded solutions like the ones in the city of Boston that are increasing the supply of affordable housing and access to the American Dream. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The Trump Administration removed a key civil rights protection that reins in housing discrimination. This will allow neighborhoods of color to be consumed by toxic waste and bypassed for federal disaster relief. Housing costs will also go up for everyone. nationalfairhousing.org/national-fai...

Last week's testimony explained how the Trump Administration is driving up housing costs and removing rungs on the ladders of opportunity for police, teachers, nurses, and firefighters. Fair housing laws improve our communities block by block.

People keep trying to solve the housing crisis without focusing on fair housing. They have yet to be successful. Enforcing fair housing laws is key to removing exclusionary zoning rules. Fair housing laws make it possible to increase affordable units. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/o...

Fair and accurate appraisals are in everyone's best interest. Thanks to @pressley.house.gov for sponsoring the Appraisal Modernization Act in the House. She and @warnock.senate.gov are trying to stop biased appraisals from denying equal access to the American Dream. thegrio.com/2025/11/21/r...

Nikitra will join a panel of experts to discuss how mission-driven housing & community organizations have upheld & advanced their work through the uncertainty of the past year—and how they will continue moving forward.

The Trump administration's new CFPB proposal would weaken hard-fought fair lending protections for women and limit affordable credit opportunities for underserved communities—namely communities of color and rural residents, especially in the South. nationalfairhousing.org/nfha-denounc...

Imagine eliminating policies and practices that helped first-generation, first-time homebuyers access the American Dream and then telling them to buy a 50-year mortgage. Voters demanded solutions to make housing fairer and more affordable, not riskier. abcnews.go.com/Business/tru...

The median age of a first-time homebuyer is now 40. Congress could pass the Downpayment Toward Equity Act to help consumers overcome the primary barrier of a lack of a downpayment. And the Neighborhood Homes Investment Act would increase housing supply. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/r...

Black homeownership rates grew by 14% percent to 48.6% from 2019-2024. Now, they are 43.9%. This jeopardizes the health of the housing system because 70% of future homebuyers will be people of color. Attacking diversity, equity, and inclusion hurts us all. www.newsweek.com/black-homeow...

"We must all stand together against this abuse of power and not allow President Trump to force out a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors with unsubstantiated allegations. This action undermines the rule of law, fairness, and due process."

The Federal Reserve lacks the tools to address the nation's fair and affordable housing crisis. Congress needs to pass comprehensive legislation with supply and demand solutions to help alleviate skyrocketing housing costs for everyday people. www.nbcnews.com/business/rea...
