Washington Gov. Ferguson Expands Law Helping First Time Minority Homebuyers

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon for the Civil Rights Division is not pleased.

Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson (D) signed a law expanding the Covenant Homeownership Program to make it easier for minorities to buy homes.

Washington passed the program two years ago, meant to help first-time homebuyers “if they’re descended from someone affected by racist real estate practices in Washington before 1968.”
