Impact of Interest Rates Drop. 

The Federal Reserve announced an interest rate cut, the first rate cut since Covid. Federal interest rates dropped in recent weeks. Will they continue falling in the months ahead? How much will they drop? How will they impact mortgages? What do these interest rates mean for homebuyers? Will homeownership be more affordable?

Guest: Mabel Guzmán, Broker, Coldwell Banker, Chicago, IL.

Latino Voters and Homeownership. Housing affordability is a new top issue for Latino voters. Why? Over the next 20 years, Latinos will make 70% of the US’ net new homeowners and are essential to the future of our nation’s housing market and economy, according to a study. A researcher discusses these findings.

Guest: Carmen M. Feliciano, Vice President of Policy and Advocacy, UnidosUS, Washington, DC.

Mendez Case to Textbooks. California Gov. Newsom signed a law to include the historic Mendez v. Westminster case in California history textbooks, ensuring that students across the state will learn about how California set a crucial precedent in America’s fight for civil rights. This landmark case, based on the Mendez family fight against the discrimination of their children, established California as the first state to abolish school segregation and paved the way for the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision.

Guest: Wendy Carrillo, Assemblymember, D-Los Angeles, Sacramento, CA.
