Urban League of Greater Madison announces new home ownership program

Dr. Ruben Anthony, CEO of Urban League of Greater Madison, announced last week a new $5,000,000 program to help increase home ownership among Black Madisonians. Home ownership in Madison's Black community is roughly 12%, well below 40+% nationwide and 23% in Wisconsin. These are stark and troubling numbers and desperately need to be addressed. This program is a step in the right direction towards doing that.
