Heirs' Property and the Preservation of Generational Wealth

On December 4, the National Housing Conference hosted its Solutions for Affordable Housing convening at the National Press Club. The event brought together policymakers and affordable housing stakeholders to discuss tangible, impactful, and achievable actions to address the nation's most critical housing policy challenges.    In today's episode, we revisit the panel, "Heirs' Property and the Preservation of Generational Wealth," which explores the historical and systemic barriers that have led to significant disparities in homeownership rates including issues around appraisal bias, redlining, and heirs' property that have led to vulnerabilities in property rights and wealth retention. Panelists included Abigail Suarez, JPMorganChase; Reggie O'Shields, Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta; Maria Evans, Fannie Mae; Thomas Mitchell, Boston College of Law; and Natasha Moodie, Housing Assistance Council.
