Racism and the Economy: Focus on Housing

This Federal Reserve Bank event focuses on structural racism in our housing markets and its impact on economic outcomes for all Americans. Keynote speakers Andre Perry and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor will outline the historical and contemporary context of how racism, racial exclusion, and predatory inclusion have limited housing opportunities and wealth-building for communities of color. Leaders from the public, nonprofit, and academic sectors will then present policy proposals for dismantling the deep inequities in housing market valuation, mortgage lending, and patterns of housing development. These proposals will kick-start a wide-ranging conversation among researchers, policymakers, and community leaders who are committed to eliminating racial disparities in housing opportunity.
