“After generations of discrimination, it’s time to give Black families a real shot at homeownership,” Kamala Harris (D-CA) wrote on her twitter account announcing her plan to invest $100 billion of federal money into housing assistance for black families as part her 2020 presidential campaign.

“After generations of discrimination, it’s time to give Black families a real shot at homeownership — historically one of the most powerful drivers of wealth. My new policy will remove unfair barriers Black Americans face when they go to qualify for a home loan,” wrote Harris.

Today at @essencefest, I announced that as president, I’ll invest $100 billion to put homeownership within reach for up to 4 million families. We must close the homeownership gap. https://t.co/BVaxcmXplH — Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) July 6, 2019
