As the campus movements about the Israel Hamas war expose the dangers, damages and impact of far-left ideologies crystalized as anti-racism, Critical Ethnic Studies, DEI and CRT, CFER remains focused on the principled fight against racial discrimination and racial preferences. We are carrying on the battles against unfair, discriminatory public policies. One of such policies is a current program  favoring certain home buyers, which is being offered by the San Diego Housing Commission (SDHC).

This particular SDHC program, entitled "City of San Diego's First-Time Homebuyer Program for Middle-Income, Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) Households," is *race-based and unconstitutional (***see eligibility requirements below). CFER is looking for co-plaintiffs to compliment a legal challenge against the SDHC. Attorneys are ready and will litigate at no cost to the plaintiff.

You will qualify to be a plaintiff if you meet the following criteria: 

• looking to purchase a home in the City of San Diego.
• Haven't owned a home in the past 3 years.
• Self-identify as white (Ironically, "self-identify" is the word SDHC uses).
• Income falls into the following category:

On page 6 of the program, the SDHC states:  "It is the policy of SDHC to provide services without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, gender, familiar status or physical/mental disability." Yet the program's eligibility requirements say otherwise. These facially illegal requirements specify that "Assistance under this program is for eligible borrowers who self-identify as black, indigenous or other person of color. This includes borrowers that self-identify as Hispanic/Latinx and any race other than white."

This is unacceptable! Such criteria imply racial disparities that still exist in our society require discriminatory measures. Offering public, taxpayer-funded programs based on race is not only unconstitutional, but also conveys the message that the political establishment and bureaucracy believe they are above the law. The SDHC cannot make up its 'own rules' which in turn violates the California state constitution. The state constitution explicitly bans 'preferential treatment' by race under Proposition 209, a citizen-initiated ballot measure approved in 1996 and reaffirmed in 2020 via the defeat of Prop. 16.

Filing a lawsuit to challenge this program will serve as a serious warning to local public entities that no one is above the law. If you would like to join the fight and if you believe you qualify as a plaintiff, please contact CFER at info@cferfoundation.org or simply reply to this email. This program is NOT one that offers "equal opportunity" for all. We need your help to push back against this nonsense, either as a co-plaintiff or as a donor to help fund CFER as a watchdog organization that defends equality for all.
