Mortgage Matters: Champion Fair Housing, Promote Homeownership Resources, and Advance Equity

Roland and Heidi discussed the importance of Fair Housing Month, emphasizing equity and access to safe housing. They were joined in studio by Gil Sanchez, Director and head of new membership efforts, and Allen Shelton, 1st Vice President and Political Advocacy Chair, with NAREB, who shared insights on the critical role of homeownership in building wealth and stability in Black and Brown communities. The conversation also highlighted the Silver State Fair Housing Council’s resources and Roland and Heidi’s new roles on its board. They closed the show by promoting upcoming workshops, including the May 3rd Path to Homeownership Workshop, which features programs like the WISH matching grant and the Nevada Rural Housing Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) offering valuable tax benefits to homeowners.
