September 2021: Housing access equity

8/26/2021

0 Comments

 
The affordable housing crisis has been at the forefront of discussion this year highlighted by skyrocketing home prices and eviction moratorium expirations. A host of solutions are being discussed and pursued to solve this seemingly intractable problem, including rezoning single family lots for greater density, promoting accessory dwelling units, offsite modular construction, and housing reparations. Join us on September 9th to discuss what role structural engineers can play in creating an equitable built environment specifically related to access to quality housing.
In preparation for this discussion please review the following materials:
  • Take a moment to review the redlining history of your home city to personalize the discussion (https://dsl.richmond.edu/panorama/redlining/).
  • Skim through the Introduction and The Legacy of Redlining section of the “Crisis, Response, and Recovery: The Federal Government and the Black/White Homeownership Gap” report from the Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley to understand the enduring impact of redlining.
  • Listen to or read one or both of these resources to connect the dots of our exclusionary housing history to the current discussion on equitable access to housing.
    • “Chapter 7: Living Apart” of The Sum of Us by Heather McGhee.
