President Biden’s Directive
President Biden announced the launch of an interagency initiative to combat bias in home appraisals ​on June 1, 2021- the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre.
The Task Force was directed to:
​
-
evaluate the causes, extent, and consequences of appraisal bias and
​
-
establish a transformative set of recommendations to root out racial
and ethnic bias in home valuations.
PAVE's Action Plan
On March 23, 2022, the Biden-Harris Administration released its Action Plan to Advance Property
Appraisal and Valuation Equity, a blueprint to help Americans benefit fairly from the equity built through home ownership. The PAVE Action Plan:
​
-
outlines the historical role of racism in the valuation of residential property;
​
-
examines the various forms of bias that can appear in residential property valuation practices; and
​
-
describes how government and industry stakeholders will advance equity through concrete actions and recommendations.
