The MMA Board of Directors recently created the following statement on the Home Ownership Gap:
Minnesota Mortgage Association Statement on the Home Ownership Gap
Homeownership remains one of the most effective means for Minnesotans to build wealth and support future financial success. The current gap in homeownership rates in our state is unacceptable and undermines the ability of minority populations to fully participate in achieving the American dream.
It is the goal of the Minnesota Mortgage Association (MMA) to eliminate any practice or policy that could contribute to inequities in the homeownership process. We are committed to a holistic approach by both supporting effective partnerships in addition to pursuing policies and educational initiatives that gives every Minnesotan equal and fair access to credit. We pledge our continued support of organizations and institutions that are engaged in comprehensive reforms and efforts designed to eliminate any homeownership gap among groups.
