Housing has historically been and continues to be, exclusionary to Black residents and people of color. Though segregation was outlawed in 1964, redlining, exclusionary zoning, displacement, and other inequitable practices have prevented marginalized communities from closing the housing gap.
We need to act now to hold cities accountable for implementing housing policies that repair the harm done to communities of color.
YIMBYs in places like our Dallas chapter, Dallas Neighbors for Housing, are leading the way in pushing for racial equity! When Interstate 345 was first constructed, the freeway destroyed homes owned and rented by people of color living in Dallas. The campaign, (re)Place 345, aims to ensure that I-345 and its surrounding corridor are reimagined into a community-led, green, economically equitable affordable housing boulevard. Their coalition is also advocating for reparations to the communities harmed by the initial construction of I-345. Donate today to help support them and other actions in the fight for racial housing justice.
In housing, we have to look at the historical damage done in our communities and work with our neighbors to advocate for housing that works for all of us.
To make housing abundant and affordable for everyone, we need you to be a part of the fight. Will you join the pro-housing movement?
