Redlining policies, beginning with the National Housing Act (NHA) in 1934, are examples of a pervasive institutional history of racism that we continue to recover from today. The outcome of these policies was that Black families could not accrue wealth because they could not establish home equity that is the foundation of financial stability for many Americans.

Efforts to change or remove these policies have not been enough: the consequences of historic redlining policies are still negatively impacting redlined districts and their communities today. Although the current government is not directly responsible for redlining practices, they have a moral and civic duty to implement new policies that will positively change the outcomes of redlining and prevent that sort of institutionalized racism in the future.
