A Century of Housing Discrimination and its Legacy of Health Impacts Today

Richard Tolin, MD

We will review the history of housing discrimination going back to the New Deal. Federally mandated segregation and racist lending requirements, as well as discriminatory zoning, taxation, and land development will be discussed. We will then explain the impact of consequent housing patterns on the health of the victims and their descendants. Finally we will then offer strategies of mitigation and redress.
