And then the white family will put the pictures up of their family. And then that appraisal gets done, and it\u2019s for a much higher value. Same house. Same neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is because of a clear history of segregation, restrictive covenants and redlining that long denied black homeowners the opportunity to take full advantage of the wealth-building power of homeownership,\u201d Harris claimed. \u201cThat inequity continues today in the home appraisal system.\u201d <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/07\/13\/kamala-harris-transportation-american-rescue-plan-workforce-development-summit-word-salad\/\">(RELATED: Kamala Harris: \u2018You Need To Get To Go And Need To Be Able To Get Where You Need To Go, To Do The Work\u2019)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Black families claimed that companies were under-appraising their homes in violation of the Fair Housing Act, The New York Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/08\/25\/realestate\/blacks-minorities-appraisals-discrimination.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported<\/a> in August 2020.
