It combated practices like redlining, which denied Black Americans access to mortgages and homeownership.

While the law was effective in combating the worst discriminatory practices, today the Black homeownership gap is wider than it was in 1968.

Housing is expensive for everyone. We need a President and leaders in Congress who will fight to bring housing costs down. Instead, Trump and Republican congressional leaders are more interested in fighting senseless wars.
