Democrats reintroduce bill to boost first-generation homeownership
Briefly

The Downpayment Toward Equity Act seeks to eliminate barriers faced by families of color and first-generation homebuyers in achieving homeownership. By providing financial assistance of up to $20,000 for first-time buyers and $25,000 for socially disadvantaged groups, the act aims to address disparities in homeownership. The act also emphasizes the importance of homebuyer education for sustainable ownership. With rising living costs exacerbated by the Trump administration's policies, this legislation is timely in targeting historically marginalized communities to close racial wealth gaps.
Homeownership is a cornerstone of the American Dream and the most powerful tool for building generational wealth.
The Downpayment Toward Equity Act will provide targeted, direct assistance to help millions of hardworking Americans finally achieve homeownership.
The act also requires homebuyer education and counseling to ensure sustainable homeownership and reduce the risk of foreclosure.
This legislation would help address the racial wealth and homeownership gaps in this country at a time when President Trump is doing his best to exacerbate these gaps.
