Brooklyn Housing Discrimination and Redlining (1940s–1950s)

During the 1940s and 1950s, the Home Owners' Loan Corporation (HOLC) produced 'security maps' that systematically denied loans to Black and minority neighborhoods in Brooklyn, enforcing redlining and racial covenants[2]. These practices entrenched segregation and limited economic mobility for Black residents in one of the nation’s largest urban areas.
