How HOA can interfer on disable black homeowners? Espd 2 of 2022
Today, for black history month, I will be talking about the impact on HOAs have on disable black individuals in homeownership. 60% of newly built single-family homes are part of a homeowners association and selling about 4% higher than those without an HOA, they are probably here to stay. Not only are HOAs here to stay, so is the continued discrimination.
Historically HOAs found their footing in the 1960s as a way for white neighborhoods to prevent people of color from moving in by creating illegal covenants and expensive cosmetic requirements to avoid HOA fines. HOAs continue to impose other ways to discriminate against homeowners of color.
For a person with a disability, HOA can discriminate when a request for an accommodation or modification is made. This episode will discuss what are the differences between accommodations and modifications. You will also learn how to make a request that will increase the chances of an HOA will approve.
