Whereas women and minorities have been historically under-
represented in housing; 
Whereas months after Congress passed a landmark law di-
recting the Federal Government to dismantle segregation 
in the Nation’s housing, President Nixon’s Secretary of 
Housing and Urban Development George Romney began 
working to implement a plan to use the law to its fullest 
effect to reverse past discrimination and institute fair 
housing in a low-key manner; 
Whereas home ownership and stable housing amongst women

companies, startups, and industries of the future; 
Whereas historic and systemic racial barriers to wealth build-
ing and the implication this has had for home ownership 
left many in cities across America vulnerable to displace-
