For homebuyers impacted by racist housing covenants, Washington state offers zero-interest loans
A new program aimed at reducing the impact of racist housing deeds, which once forbade selling homes to various minority groups in Washington state, is taking shape. The Covenant Homeownership Program, run by the state’s Housing Finance Commission, offers prospective homebuyers from those communities no-interest loans of up to $150,000 to cover down payments — one of the biggest hurdles to buying a home — and closing costs. Borrowers repay the loan upon selling or refinancing of their home. So far, 34 people from the Puget Sound area have applied for zero-interest down payment loans through the Covenant Homeownership Program, with six applicants in the mortgage closing phase as of Thursday. While the passage of the federal Fair Housing Act in 1968 stripped away the power of racist housing covenants, the effects of that exclusion span several generations and are still felt today.

We can, at times, see with our own eyes what others would deny. Recently, relaxing in the front yard of a friend’s home near Darrington, I gazed up through fire smoke to the glacier-topped summit of 6,800-foot Whitehorse Mountain. The bottom-to-top ascent is a bear, eased only at climb’s end in a gentle snow slope leading up to the summit. But no more. The summit slope has largely melted, leaving treacherous ice in its place.
