'Community conversation' event to explore the history of housing discrimination
/The Hull Affordable Housing Committee, in partnership with the Council on Aging, Wellspring, and The Anchor, invites residents to a community conversation on the history and lasting impact of housing discrimination. The event will be held on October 21 at 7 p.m., via Zoom, and is free and open to the public.
Featuring guest speaker Bob Van Meter from the Jewish Alliance for Law and Social Action (JALSA), the program will explore how historic housing policies such as redlining, restrictive covenants, and exclusionary zoning shaped communities across Massachusetts. Participants will also learn how these systems continue to influence housing access and affordability today.
Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in discussion, share experiences, and learn about ongoing efforts to advance fair and equitable housing in Hull.
