2020 Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris introduced a $100 billion plan Saturday to help black people buy homes.

The California senator discussed the plan at Essence Fest, hosted by Essence Magazine, in New Orleans while calling on the nation to “deal with the racial wealth gap,” Politico reported.

The program would provide up to $25,000 in the form of grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to help pay down payments or closing costs. The grants would be expected to help about 4 million individuals or families who make up to $100,000, or $125,000 and are looking to rent or buy homes in high-cost areas in an effort to combat redlining.

Harris’ plan would also offer financial literacy programs for first-time homebuyers.

“A typical black family has just $10 of wealth for every $100 held by a white family,” Harris told her audience at the festival. “So we must right that wrong and, after generations of discrimination, give black families a real shot at homeownership — historically one of the most powerful drivers of wealth in our country.”

The California senator also said on Saturday that she would improve anti-discrimination lending laws, HUD’s fair housing program and the Fair Credit Reporting Act so credit scores include rent, phone and utility payments.

Homeownership has historically been one of the most powerful drivers of wealth, which is why I announced a plan to shrink the racial homeownership gap, helping up to four million families with down payments and closing costs.https://t.co/C9GoIuyVA7
