Couldn't agree more @Shama. Financial literacy is vital to increasing awareness of affordable homeownership options. #SpentOnRent

The authors point to a troubling trend. Lower home ownership numbers will increase the wealth gap between white millennials compared to Latinos and Blacks.

The first step to increase access to homeownership is understanding what exactly is holding people back. That’s why we provided a grant to the @UrbanInstitute and asked them to help.
