"Redlining may have ended decades ago, but its impact on housing and wealth is still with us today."

Redlining, a discriminatory practice that began in the 1930s, systematically denied mortgages and insurance to residents in neighborhoods predominantly inhabited by African Americans and other minorities. While officially outlawed in 1968, the effects of redlining continue to shape economic and racial disparities in housing and wealth today. This policy led to disinvestment in minority communities, resulting in lower property values, limited access to quality education, and reduced economic opportunities. Today, the legacy of redlining is seen in segregated neighborhoods, the racial wealth gap, and disparities in homeownership rates. Modern manifestations, such as predatory lending practices and discriminatory appraisals, continue to perpetuate inequality. Understanding the enduring impact of redlining is essential to addressing current housing inequities and building pathways toward economic justice and equal opportunity for all communities.
