State of Housing in Black America – Philadelphia Virtual Roundtable – Mar 4
Posted by Urban Affairs Coalition on February 24, 2026
In 2025, Black homeownership rates across America remained stagnant. How does Philadelphia compare to the national landscape?
In 2025, Black homeownership rates remained stubbornly below their early-2000s peak, reflecting both longstanding structural barriers and ongoing economic insecurity faced by African Americans.
On Wednesday, March 4 from 10:30am to 12pm via Zoom, join CONVERGENCE Philadelphia, the National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB), the Philadelphia Metropolitan Board of Realtist (PMBR), and Urban Affairs Coalition (UAC) for a virtual roundtable on the State of Housing in Black America: Philadelphia Edition.
Panelists will discuss the differences in national and Philadelphia data on Black homeownership applications, denials, and rates, overview NAREB’s policy priorities and recommendations, what barriers still exist in Philadelphia, and how to support and/or attend the upcoming Affordable Homeownership Tour.
Registration is free, though required.
