“'One’s Zip code is as important to one’s health as one’s genetic code,' said Marc Gourevitch, who leads the Department of Population Health at New York University." #FairHousing
The city’s legacy of segregation endures as a public health crisis today, leaders say.
In recent months, Asian Americans have faced increasing numbers of hate incidents. Threats, harassment, and violence based on national origin can violate fair housing laws. We must be able to feel safe in our own homes. Call the Fair Housing Council for help, at 1-877-647-3247, or visit fairhousingwisconsin.com. #FairHousing
"Compared with the private sector overall, the real estate sector lacks diversity. Three in four employees in real estate are white, compared with 63 percent in the private sector. But according to Urban Institute calculations of 2019 American Community Survey data, this gap is even more pronounced for appraisers, as 89 percent of all property appraisers and assessors are white while only 2 percent are Black and 5 percent are Hispanic." #FairHousing
Addressing the lack of diversity in the appraiser industry could improve outcomes for Black and Hispanic communities.
"Redlining, or housing discrimination by denying services to minority neighborhoods, has been illegal for over half a century. But it just keeps happening.
An agency within President Joe Biden's administration just found evidence of the discriminatory practice still happening today." #FairHousing
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau found evidence of redlining, along with "racist and derogatory content" in emails among loan officers.
Some housing providers still discriminate based on race, both in person and on the telephone. If you’re concerned that a housing provider has denied your housing choices because of your race, call the Fair Housing Council’s toll-free number, 1-877-647-3247, to stand up for your rights. #FairHousing
"The average Black family has only one-eighth the wealth of the average white family — $23,000 compared to about $184,000. And much of that difference is due to the lack of home equity." #FairHousing
The housing gap between Black and white homeowners has been consistent for decades, and so far it continues to widen.

"There is an emerging body of research from the U.S. Forest Service and others that has found a direct relationship between tree canopy today and discriminatory policies of the past. In predominantly white areas, trees cover one-third of the surface. In communities of color, barely one-fifth. For example, from the 1930s to the 1960s and even the 1970s, a practice of discriminatory lending now known as 'redlining' was carried out in cities across the country, from Los Angeles to Baltimore. Color-coded maps dissuaded not only mortgage but also health care and infrastructure investments based on where people lived. The red lines that were drawn around neighborhoods — predominantly Black as well as Catholic, Jewish and immigrant — now often line up very closely with maps showing a lack of tree canopy today." #FairHousing
Trees protect cities from extreme heat. But in most places, only the rich enjoy them.

"...if you ask how nice it is to live in Milwaukee, answers varied along racial and ethnic contours. More than half the white and Hispanic people polled said the city is 'excellent' or 'good,' while 80% of Black respondents rated the city 'fair' or 'poor.'” #fairhousing

"Exclusionary zoning laws have a profound impact on social welfare because where a family lives matters. Using data that cover virtually the entire U.S. population from 1989 to 2015, researchers have shown that neighborhoods can have significant causal effects on children’s long-term outcomes, including their earnings. Because exclusionary zoning rules drive up housing prices, poorer families are kept out of wealthier, high-opportunity neighborhoods. This, in turn, leads to worse outcomes for children, including lower standardized test scores, and greater social inequalities over time." #FairHousing
