NMTCs means increasing access and opportunity for homeownership to low income families and communities and to people of color and communities of color. This enables us to begin to address the inequities and racial injustice in housing policy that has existed in our country for centuries. It enables us to provide people and communities of color with the opportunity for a better quality of life with better health and educational outcomes – with the possibility for a country where your zip code and the color of your skin do not determine how healthy you will be, your economic stability or your children’s futures.
