The Redress Movement

Local and state governments, the federal government, and the real estate industry have a lot to atone for because of their instrumental role in segregating America during the last century. Most housing justice policies and programs do the important work of blunting the long-term effects of that harm, but how do we move toward race-conscious policies of repair? Join the Redress Movement’s Research Director, Maxwell Ciardullo, as well as representatives from local government and private institutions to learn how they’re implementing programs to specifically benefit people harmed by segregation. Cashauna Hill, Redress’s Executive Director, will moderate a discussion between the following panelists: Andie Byrd – Senior Advisor for Fund & Organizational Development at City First Enterprises, Washington, D.C. Leslie Goodlow – Equity & Business Operations Manager at the Portland Housing Bureau, Portland, OR. Maxwell Ciardullo – Director of Research at the Redress Movement, New Orleans, LA.

In 2021, New Jersey passed the 1st state law limiting the use of criminal records in tenant screening. And now, the Biden Administration finally is on the verge of ending the practice of banning people with criminal records from federally-subsidized housing. This important piece by The Redress Movement's Cashauna Hill spells out why homelessness & mass incarceration are deeply intertwined issues — and why we can't end the housing crisis until we repair the harms of mass incarceration:

Last week, our Colorado team joined forces with Colorado Homes for All and other housing rights advocates to protest against Greystar at their offices in the Denver Tech Center, calling on their CEO to limit rent increases to no more than 3% each year. Corporate greed is fueling the housing crisis in Denver and around the country, and we sent a powerful message to put renters and their families first. #rentersoveryachts #KeepColoradansHoused
