CHARLOTTE, N.C. Persistent systemic challenges continue to prevent people of color from securing home loans.
As WCNC Charlotte has reported, data shows most of Charlotte s largest lenders denied Black applicants two to three times more often than their white counterparts in 2018 and 2019.
Now WCNC Charlotte is partnering with local Carolina organizations to make a difference by spotlighting available community resources.
WCNC Charlotte hosted Bring It Home, a virtual, town hall event helping Black applicants overcome mortgage loan disparities. The live forum provided resources to securing down payment grants, credit counseling, and other tools for hopeful homebuyers.
