Minorities are in a crises
The State of Housing for
Minorities
The State of Housing for Minorities
African American and Hispanic communities
were hit the hardest by the Great Financial
Crises and have the farthest to climb before
home values get back to their pre-recession
prices.
The State of Housing for Minorities
The homeownership rate in the U.S. is 63.5
percent overall. The rate among whites is 71.1
percent; Asians, 57.8 percent.
Blacks 41.9 percent
Hispanics 45.2 percent
The State of Housing for Minorities
Economists confirmed that non-white loan
applicants are disproportionately denied home
loans based on the most recent HMDA Data.
The State of Housing for Minorities
In 2013, 27.6 percent of blacks and 21.9
percent of Hispanics who applied for a
conventional mortgage were denied, while only
10.4 percent of white applicants were denied.
State of Housing for Minorities
If housing continues to be the primary
vehicle that Minorities use to create wealth
then they are on the path to an Economic
Crisis!

Black-White Economic Divide
The Wealth Gap
Research Study on the Wealth Gap
Brandeis University Institute of Asset and social Policy
RESEARCH AND POLICY BRIEF FEBRUARY 2013
The Roots of the Widening Racial Wealth Gap:
Explaining the Black-White Economic Divide
Authored by:

Research Study on the Wealth Gap
Data for this analysis was derived from the Panel Study of
Income Dynamics (PSID), a nationally representative
longitudinal study that began in 1968. They followed nearly
1,700 working-age households from 1984 through 2009.
Research Study on the Wealth Gap
● The goal of the study was to examine the effect of
policy and institutional decision-making on how average
families accumulate wealth.
● There was a insufficient number of Latino, Asian
American, or immigrant households to include in this
report but the results can be applied across
communities of color.
What is Wealth?
All families need wealth to be economically secure and create
opportunities for the next generation. What is wealth?
● Wealth is what we own minus - what we owe
● Wealth allows families to move to safer neighborhoods,
● Invest in businesses and community
● Save for retirement
● Support their children’s college aspirations
● Leave a legacy and an inheritance
Wealth provides a measure of security when a job loss or other crisis strikes.
The Great Recession
The Great Recession of 2007-2009 devastated the wealth of all families
except for those with the most. In the U.S. today, the richest 1 percent of
households owns 37 percent of all wealth.
In 2009, a representative survey of American households revealed that:
the median wealth of white families was $113,149 compared with
$6,325 for Latino families and $5,677 for black families.
Why when the GDP of African American is 1.3 Trillion
dollars and 1.5 Trillion dollars for Hispanics? Consumption!
Great Recession and Great Gap
The Great Recession of 2007-2009 brought long-term high unemployment.
This underscores the critical importance wealth plays in weathering
emergencies and helping families achieve financial security and opportunity
Tracing the same set of families over a 25-year period (1984-2009), the total
wealth gap between White and African-American families nearly tripled,
increasing from:
● $85,000 in 1984 to $236,500 in 2009
The Gap: $152,000 and growing
Blacks & Hispanic Homeownership Rates in 1994: 40 & 42% respectively. Blacks achieved
a high of 50% in 2004. In 2014 Blacks are at 42.5% and Hispanics are at 43.5% Hispanics.
Impact by Weight:
The biggest drivers of the growing racial wealth gap are:
1. Years of homeownership 27% 2. Household income 20%
3. Unemployment, 9% which is much more prominent among African-
American families
4. A college education, 5%
5. Inheritance, financial support by families 5%
6. Preexisting family wealth, 3%
7. Labor market instabilities ?%
8. These fundamental factors count for nearly two thirds (69%) of the
proportional increases of the wealth gap.
The Power Is Now Wealth Intitative
Homeownership can make the difference
between:
1. Improving your life and where you live
2. Providing for your children’s education
3. Creating wealth in equity for investment
4. Creating stability for your family
5. Avoid retiring in poverty
You're not building wealth if you use all your money for
consumption.
Real wealth is being able to say, 'I have the freedom to do
what I want with my life, and to live my life on my terms.
53% of the wealth of African American is in real estate and
it is 39% for Hispanics. Real Estate is the chosen path for
wealth creation for minorities.

Real Estate the Pathway to Real Wealth
Financial Independence
Financial dependence to Independence is the
result of using your wages to purchase real
estate and other assets over time.
Real Estate generates income and equity that
can replace your wages over time and/or it can
be sold for cash for retirement.
