Dean Heller, R-Nev., give a news conference in Las Vegas where the senator announced he will vote no on the proposed GOP healthcare bill.

ADVANCE FOR RELEASE SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2017, AT 12:01 A.M. EDT. AND THEREAFTER- FILE - In this Nov. 9, 2015, file photo, Pastor Yul Dorn poses for a portrait inside his home, where he was facing eviction due to foreclosure in San Francisco's Bayview-Hunters Point district. Dorn and his wife expect to join the growing ranks of African-Americans who do not own their homes, a rate that was nearly 30 percentage points higher than that of whites in 2016, according to a report by Harvard University's Joint Center for Housing Studies. The nation's homeownership rate appears to be stabilizing as people rebound from the 2007 recession according to the report. But it found African Americans aren't sharing in the recovery, even as whites, Asian Americans and Latinos slowly see gains in home-buying. The center said the disparity between whites and blacks is at its highest in 70-plus years of data. (AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez, File)
