OH HR95

Urges Congress to enact federal H.R. 1255 to make direct descendants of Black World War II veterans eligible for Veterans Administration housing loans and education benefits.

Identifies racial disparities in G.I. Bill implementation that prevented Black veterans from accessing promised benefits due to discriminatory lending practices by financial institutions.

Notes that the Department of Veterans Affairs could only cosign loans rather than guarantee them, allowing banks to refuse mortgages and loans to Black veterans.

Cites redlining practices that made home purchases even more difficult for Black veterans by marking lending risk maps by race.

Directs the Ohio House Clerk to transmit the resolution to Congress, the Ohio Congressional delegation, and Ohio news media.
