In 1944, President Roosevelt signed into law the Servicemens Readjustment Actcommonly referred to as the GI Billwhich provided a range of benefits, such as guaranteed mortgages, to veterans of World War II.45 However, according to historian Ira Katznelson, the law was deliberately designed to accommodate Jim Crow.46 For instance, the GI Bill allowed local banks to discriminate against Black veterans and deny them home loans even though the federal government would guarantee their mortgages.47 In Mississippi, just two of the 3,000 mortgages that the Veterans Administration guaranteed in 1947 went to African Americans, despite the fact that African Americans constituted half of the states population.48 While the GI Bill paved the way for millions of predominantly white veterans to enter the middle class, it also further entrenched the United States racial hierarchy.49, Federal home loan programs allowed householdsthe majority of them whiteto build and transfer assets across generations, contributing to glaring racial disparities in homeownership and wealth.

In the decades preceding the Fair Housing Act, government policies led many white Americans to believe that residents of color were a threat to local property values.54 For example, real estate professionals across the country who sought to maximize profits by leveraging this fear convinced white homeowners that Black families were moving in nearby and offered to buy their homes at a discount.55 These blockbusters would then sell the properties to Black familieswho had limited access to FHA loans or GI Bill benefitsat marked-up prices and interest rates.56 Moreover, these homes were often purchased on contracts, rather than traditional mortgages, allowing real estate professionals to evict Black families if they missed even one payment and then repeat the process with other Black families.57 During this period, in Chicago alone, more than 8 in 10 Black homes were purchased on contract rather than a standard mortgage, resulting in cumulative losses of up to $4 billion.58 Blockbusting and contract buying were just two of several discriminatory wealth-stripping practices that lawmakers permitted in the U.S. housing system.59, A recent CAP report, Racial Disparities in Home Appreciation, highlighted that although the Fair Housing Act banned discriminatory housing practices, many lenders continue to unfairly target people of color with limited federal, state, and local oversight or accountability.60 At the turn of the century, banks disproportionately issued speculative loans to Black and Latinx homebuyers, even when they qualified for less risky options.61 These subprime loans had higher-than-average interest rates that could cost homeowners up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional interest payments.62 During the financial crisis, Black and Latinx households lost 48 percent and 44 percent of their wealth, respectively, due in part to these practices.63.
