Answer to Question 2

Instead of using its role in the home mortgage industry to promote homeownership for all groups, the federal government adopted a set of standards that typically made homes in minority and mixed-race neighborhoods ineligible for loans, deeming them too risky for investment. Home ownership, consequently, was largely restricted to whites, especially in the suburbs.
