Barriers to Accessing Homeownership

On January 30, 2019, the Urban Institute will host a discussion seminar at its Washington, D.C. office from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. ET that highlights findings from its new report on obstacles that low-income, minority, and millennial citizens face when trying to buy a home. The stability and asset-building that buying a home can provide may be challenging to reach for these segments of the population, but the report will illuminate solutions such as down payment assistance. Also highlighted will be current issues in the home ownership landscape and implications for homebuyers.
