CHT CEO Michael Monte aims to address historic homeownership gaps.

The new agencies, including Downstreet Housing and Community Development, welcome the initiative. With 23 buyers benefiting from 2022, CHT aims to increase BIPOC homeownership, emphasizing equity and opportunity across the state.They call themselves trying to right the wrongs of the past.. but this actually breeds more racism and hatred.Furthermore, conservatives claim that doing this will cause more harm than good.

You have to buy it from their organization, anyone else catch that. It’s a scam to fleece them and when they can’t pay. They take it back and keep our $25K.In addition to this, Americans are asking if there are going to be lawsuits in place for this initiative. They feel that this move is discriminatory and there are laws in place in order to prevent things like this from happening. Unfortunately, it is happening and nothing much can be done about it.
