We were so pleased to welcome one of the lead investigators to speak to us this week about fair housing, testers and best practices for all real estate firms. Below are the important links you might want to review and share with your officemates!
Bill also mentioned redlining and policies that have lead to segregation. Want to understand just the basics of that concept of our history of redlining in less than 6 minutes? This “Adam Ruins Everything: Disturbing History of the Suburbs video is an easy to digest look at why suburbs look the way they do now. You can also listen to the 6 minute WAMC report on redlining in Pittsfield by our local NAACP. For more in-depth resources, go to our Fair Housing webpage for links, books (the Color of Law!) and videos that go in-depth to understand this.
