The Cook County Assessor's Office, in partnership with Northeastern Illinois University’s Angelina Pedroso Center for Diversity and Intercultural Affairs, celebrates Hispanic Heritage month with a Racial Equity & Real Estate Conversation centered on the Latinx community. This event will unpack barriers and advancements to homeownership for Latinx communities, including housing policy, property tax reform, gentrification, wealth building, and the state of Latino homeownership. We will discuss solutions to increase homeownership access for the nation's largest demographic and dive into testimonials from Cook County homeowners. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with local agencies and nonprofits that can assist current and future homeowners.
