Confronting the legacy of housing discrimination event series
To achieve housing and wealth equity, we’re documenting and sharing discriminatory housing practices so we can explicitly commit to remedying the economic harm. Collaborators in our Homes for Equity initiative - OppCo, Nuestra Comunidad Development Corporation, and the Massachusetts Affordable Housing Alliance (MAHA) -are hosting a free, two-part series, The Past is Not Past: Confronting the Legacy of Housing Discrimination in Roxbury.
Join us as we share the stories gathered from the lived experiences of Roxbury residents and discuss how to make it right in the community.
