“Since the time of the civil rights
movement, America has changed a
lot o f laws but certainly not a lot of
minds," he said.
Potter said America must start
unlearning the prejudices that have
been taught to generations of people.

hom eowners than black. The re
port also stated that at every in
com e. minority households are d e
nied more loans than white house
holds.
To close the housing gap over
the next 10 years, the counci I recog
nized a need o f 1,262 new minority
hom eowners each year. Short-term
strategies include partnering with
com m unity and housing experts,
publishing a com prehensive home
buying resource directory and re
storing single-family tax abatement
authority.
Potter said the follow -up on this
initiative is just getting started. Late
last year the city gave $ 1.6 million
federally funded dollars to six local
non-profit run homeownership pro
grams.
Last month, the city council
passed an ordinance to start a
$200,000 fund forthe rehabilitation
o f drug houses seized by the city.
This is in addition to an allocated

The rehabilitation monies will be
tied to a revolving loan fund so the
city can rehabilitate more houses in
the future. The city is also consid
ering future funding through part
nerships with other city bureaus,
including the fire and police depart
ments.
Due to reduced federal monies
from Housing and Urban D evelop

10 percent cut o f C om m unity D e
velopm ent Block G rants, a major
source o f homeow nership funding,
the city council is considering a
three percent budget cut from local
housing programs.
“ It would be im possible for us to
fill those gaps locally," Potter said.
He urges people to com m uni
cate with elected officials on both
state and federal levels, regarding
the impact o f recent budget cuts.
“SI ,6m illionfor homeownership
is a lot more than we could make up
for with local revenues," he said,
“but th at's a small am ount for the
federal governm ent com pared to
what they’re spending in Iraq.”
