vivek ramaswamy challenges bank of america's controversial home loan move
In a Twitter post, Vivek Ramaswamy voiced concerns over Bank of America’s decision to offer home loans “without down payment” exclusively to Black and Hispanic communities. Ramaswamy predicts that this move, labeled as “anti-racism” today, could be deemed “systemic racism” tomorrow if minorities default on these loans.
Bank of America introduced the Community Affordable Loan Solution, targeting properties in Black/African American and Hispanic-Latino communities in cities like Charlotte, Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles, and Miami. The program emphasizes factors such as timely rent, utility bill, phone, and auto insurance payments for credit evaluation, eliminating the need for mortgage insurance or a minimum credit score.
Eligibility for the program considers income and home location, open to individuals of any race or ethnicity. This initiative complements Bank of America’s existing $15 billion Community Homeownership Commitment, aiming to assist 60,000 individuals and families in purchasing affordable homes by 2025 through affordable mortgages, grants, and educational opportunities.
The National Association of Realtors highlights a significant homeownership gap between White and Black Americans, with a nearly 30-percentage-point difference. Hispanic buyers face a 20 percent gap, contributing to the challenges faced by people of color in acquiring homes. Bank of America’s AJ Barkley, Head of Neighborhood and Community Lending, sees the Community Affordable Loan Solution as a step toward making sustained homeownership attainable for more Black and Hispanic families, reinforcing the bank’s commitment to the communities it serves.
