Eliminating Barriers to Racial Equity

Goal

Government policies should tear down walls of exclusion and build bridges to opportunity. 

Unfortunately, the nation’s largest affordable housing program—the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit—as administered by New York State fails to meet this goal.  The Tax Credits are managed in a way that actually creates more racial segregation, concentrates poverty, and continually denies the people who need this housing the opportunity to live in neighborhoods with good resources.

According to the U.S. Census, Long Island is one of the most racially segregated areas in the nation. While it undeniably has many high-opportunity neighborhoods with good schools and other desirable resources, too often families living in “affordable housing” subsidized by Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) are excluded from opportunity and have to accept failing schools, high concentrations of poverty and racial segregation.  This is because New York State’s scoring system that is used to determine which projects will be funded, places scant emphasis on projects that are located in high-opportunity neighborhoods. 

Join us in our call for the New York State Homes and Community Renewal to enact a scoring system that helps to integrate our communities and open up opportunities for low-income residents!

  • Neil Bueno Bayside, NY

    More affordable housing, low income or middle income, should be available in high opportunity areas on LI. If it means fixing the scoring system to accomplish erasing segregation; that is a must!

    The need to end modern racism is long over due. We get nowhere as a country when we do not have equality. We are the United States, not the separated states. This country needs to stand up for each other in these times of inequality. As a country we need to stand together for what is right and do away with what is wrong.

    Everyone benefits from desegregation, but the fact that Americans are being unfairly held back from opportunities to move forward in life, for themselves, their families and communities has to stop. Every child has the right to a safe school, safe housing, and a chance to enjoy the basic rights that should be afforded to every single American, without fail.

    The fight against racism has to start at home. Long Island is far too segregated and comfortable with that segregation. The subtle racism of segregation is equally as dangerous as those who carry confederate and Nazi flags in marches across America.

    We are more than 50 years post Brown vs. Board of Education yet our communities and schools remain highly segregated. This creates an unjust and inequitable system of education privileging those in high-income and primarily white neighborhoods while continuing to deny resources of all kinds to children in low-income, primarily non-white schools. Housing equity is one way to begin to offer justice to all children.

  • Craig Gurian New York, NY

    The Anti-Discrimination Center believes that, for decades, New York State has played a critical role in perpetuating segregation by making it easy for developers to build in areas of concentrated poverty that are overwhelmingly African-American or Latino, while making it difficult to build affordable housing in neighborhoods of opportunity, neighborhoods that remain disproportionately white. With just the smallest amount of political courage, the Cuomo administration could get this state on the road to compliance with the Fair Housing Act and to meeting its moral obligation to begin to undo its extensive contributions to New York's segregated status quo.

    I am signing because fair housing is just that. From the Declaration of Independence, adopted July 4, 1776; "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness". By way of this declaration I would categorize a clean and safe place to dwell pursuit of happiness. What is shameful is 240 years later a petition is necessary to follow our own laws!

    Middle income and low income families have not been treated fairly regarding housing for too long. The education that is offered in elementary schools also plays differentialities.

  • Craig Gurian New York, NY

    The Anti-Discrimination Center believes that, for decades, New York State has played a critical role in perpetuating segregation by making it easy for developers to build in areas of concentrated poverty that are overwhelmingly African-American or Latino, while making it difficult to build affordable housing in neighborhoods of opportunity, neighborhoods that remain disproportionately white. With just the smallest amount of political courage, the Cuomo administration could get this state on the road to compliance with the Fair Housing Act and to meeting its moral obligation to begin to undo its extensive contributions to New York's segregated status quo.
