Summary

The bill amends the California Dream for All program to set aside a minimum of 10% of its funding for first‑time homebuyers who are certified as descendants of formerly enslaved people. This reservation would only take effect after the Bureau for Descendants of American Slavery is established by Senate Bill 518. It is intended to broaden homeownership and wealth‑building opportunities for that population.
