"The case centers on the Covenant Homeownership Program, which state lawmakers approved last year in an effort to address the lasting effects of racist housing policies from the early 1900s. Among them are racially restrictive covenants that often limited properties to only white buyers and are present in the records of tens of thousands of properties across the state."
Racially restrictive covenants have not been lawfully enforceable since Shelley v. Kramer (1948). It has been 77 years. There are likely no more than dozen people in the U.S. who suffered any direct injury by these CC&Rs, even though many deeds still have these unenforceable clauses in them. At most there are some people who grew up in homes purchased by parents who were excluded from what used to be called "exclusive neighborhoods," before this became realtorese for "nice places to live."
For the same reason that Shelley struck down these covenants, this law that provides 0% mortgages and $120K down payments with no obligation to repay is a violation of the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Watch the DEI crowd argue that racial discrimination is not only permissible but mandatory to achieve racial justice.
Even better, these deed restrictions often applied to Jews as well. You will notice Jews are not eligible for this giveaway.
