Description

About the Event: This Mill Valley community event is hosted by Mill Valley School District and Mill Valley Recreation. The event will start with a 30-minute catered reception to allow guests to mingle and conclude with a Q&A session with two of the documentary's subjects, Tenisha Tate-Austin and Paul Austin. About the Screening: The new “Our America: Lowballed” documentary special will debut on ABC Owned Television Stations and streaming platforms including Hulu beginning December 2nd, with a linear release across eight ABC stations the weekend of December 5th, including New York and Philadelphia. Black and Latino families have had their homes appraised for up to $500,000 less than comparable homes owned by white families with racial bias playing a significant factor. According to an ABC Owned Television Stations data analysis of more than 50 million home loans, refinance applications in predominantly Black neighborhoods are nearly five times more likely to be under-appraised than in white communities. Featured Local Subjects: This documentary features Tenisha Tate-Austin and Paul Austin, Marin City residents, and Marin County community leaders, whose home was undervalued by an appraiser. Join us for the screening and the opportunity to hear directly from Tenisha and Paul about the direct impact to them and the grave impact that the undervaluation of homes has on families of color and their ability to build wealth through real estate.
