Analysis & Commentary

Housing Justice is Racial Justice

April is National Fair Housing Month. Housing advocates are celebrating the passage of the Fair Housing Act. Yet the federal law’s promise to promote a more equitable and integrated society remains largely unfulfilled. The lack of access to safe, decent, and affordable housing today reflects and compounds the racial inequities that have plagued this country for centuries. Congress must act now to fulfill the spirit of the Fair Housing Act.

Recovery must focus on reducing poverty and systemic inequities

Congress should move swiftly to build on the Administration’s proposals and craft recovery legislation focused on investing in low-income families, creating opportunity, and reducing disparities, by helping families with low incomes keep a roof over their heads and making expansions of the Child Tax Credit (CTC) and Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) permanent.
