Mortgage Market Report Series - Part 3: Native American and Hawaiian Lending » NCRC Part 3 of NCRC’s 2024 Mortgage Market Report series examines lending patterns among Native Hawaiians and mainland Native American communities.

Native Hawaiian homebuyers receive just 3.9% of loans in Hawaii despite being 10.8% of the population. Investment buyers claim nearly 20% of the market. Our new report exposes how displacement happens even in indigenous homelands. buff.ly/jgvoYgd #justeconomy

Interesting summary of “AI” tools used for housing by @shelterforce.bsky.social. Clearly a case of the tool only being as useful as the person wielding it. Also, I remember when it was all called machine learning.

Not a huge surprise but still difficult to see happen. Feeling nothing but anxiety for my former colleagues and friends.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act will raise energy and borrowing costs, hurting renters, homeowners, builders, and operators of housing of all types. This will, in turn, worsen our current housing crisis.

Happy to see HUD celebrating Homeownership Month. Hopefully folks in the Weaver Building feel inspired enough to keep the lights on.

Can’t do it without funding! Thanks to our GSN sponsors for making our conference possible.

This was a few weeks ago but worth sharing the excellent piece authored by my colleagues at @groundedsolutions.bsky.social. Taxation policy can complicated the implementation of shared equity homeownership, which prevents folks from enjoying its many benefits.

Not many people can rival @raskin.house.gov when it comes to passion. Thanks to @consumerfed.bsky.social for giving him the stage.
