Program Launched for Black Homebuyers in San Diego County
With home rental prices on the rise, a new program is working to make it easier for Black families to purchase a new home in San Diego County. The program is offering thousands of dollars to help with down payment and closing costs.
According to the UT, the median home price in the San Diego market reached up to $750,000 this summer. Local leaders say opportunities to purchase are even harder for black families.
"31 percent of black families in San Diego own their own home versus 65 of white families, that's unacceptable. It's always been unacceptable," says Ricardo Flores with LISC San Diego.
Saturday morning (August 21st), local agencies joined forces to announce the launch of the San Diego Black Homebuyer Program. It will be operated through The Urban League of San Diego County (San Diego, CA). The goal is to provide stability for families around the county.

Urban League Hosts Hundreds Hoping to Get their Records Expunged
Hundreds gathered Saturday (August 21st) at the Urban League of Greater Oklahoma City (Oklahoma City, OK) for the opportunity to clear their criminal records at its first Expungement Expo.
Getting your record expunged is difficult and can cost around $2,500.
The Urban League and other partners are guiding people through it and covering the cost, helping them get better jobs and opportunities in the future.
On Saturday there was a ceremony for 20 people who finished the four-month process of getting their records expunged.
For some it has been a long time coming.
“It’s a game changer," said Tiffany Mason, one of the 20 who finished the process.
Mason had a minor felony on her record since 1994 and says she hasn't been in trouble since.
She says that has made it difficult to find a job.
