A cascade of crises is forcing America to confront the racism of its past and present—from overt acts of hate to subtler injustices that shape our society. Over 16 weeks, City Limits and Enterprise Community Partners will feature prominent New Yorkers’ views on how race and housing policy intersect to create a legacy each of us must confront, and the way forward we should take together. These are not necessarily views we endorse. But they are views we fully believe are important to share with each other.

By Rev. Terry Troia | August 15, 2016

Building Justice: As Tenants Fought to Save the Bronx, Race was in the Background

By Jim Buckley | August 8, 2016

Discrimination and segregation shaped the existential crisis that faced many Bronx neighborhoods in the 1970s and 1980s. But in the building by building fight for decent conditions, a veteran advocate recalls, race was rarely a topic of conversation.

For Low-Income People of Color in NYC, Segregation is a Regional Problem

By Sarah Serpas | August 1, 2016

“Many past policy decisions improved the lives of generations of impoverished citizens and immigrants. Others deepened and perpetuated inequality, limiting the region’s overall prosperity and livability in the process.” Our Building Justice series continues.

Opinion

50 Years After Debate Began on Fair Housing, Discrimination Still Damages NYC Neighborhoods

By Bill Frey | July 25, 2016
