Biden's Budget Increases CDFI Funding by 23% | Credit Union Times
Opinion | Fannie Mae’s New Racial Bias
"One program would assist black borrowers with down payments. Most home-buyers are required to put down at least 20% of the cost of a new home to reduce the risks of default. Fannie’s plan would effectively require taxpayers to subsidize down payments for black borrowers. Revenue that Fannie earns on its mortgage portfolio is retained as capital to protect taxpayers during a downturn. Under Fannie’s plan, some of that revenue would go to reducing down payments.
Another new program would reduce “loan level price adjustments” for black home buyers. Lenders typically charge higher rates for borrowers with lower credit scores, and Fannie says reducing them can “reduce obstacles for prospective Black homeowners.”
Still another program would “support the reduction of borrower closing costs for Black homebuyers”—for instance, via appraisal reimbursements"
They are being aggressive enough that right wing cacs are bytching and complaining.
They are pumping billions of dollars into programs that help Black folks put money down for homes and start businesses.
Stop being a contrarian and look into policy
