Homeownership has always been a part of the American Dream. Homeownership provides stable environments, it is essential for wealth-building, and grants greater access to quality education, employment, and resources.

Dr. Svenja Gudell, Chief Economist of Zillow, provided NFHA with her research on the latest housing market trends, the historic disenfranchisement of homebuyers of color, and solutions to creating an equitable economic recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic.
