Episode 3 of The Great Wealth Divide puts the focus on
housing disparities for Black and Latinx communities, including the history of destructive government and real estate industry practices, such as redlining and disinvestment, that negatively affected access to affordable housing and home ownership.
The result has been profound damage or destruction of those communities, such as the South Bronx. This episode present the benefits of financial education to improve home ownership opportunities as well as on-the-ground solutions provided by organizations committed to positive change.
