“ERASE RACISM” ORGANIZATION CALLS ON POLITICAL LEADERS TO ADDRESS HOUSING DISCRIMINATION ON LONG ISLAND
[New York News\Housing Discrimination]
ERASE Racism’s fair housing investigation led to successful litigation resulting in settlements with real estate companies in both Nassau and Suffolk counties. Those property owners and management companies had been showing rental apartments to white applicants and treating Black applicants differently, denying them access to the apartments. When Black individuals and couples inquired about apartments, they were told, among other things, that nothing was available, that there was a long waiting list, that the rent was higher, and that they should check back in the future. When whites inquired, they were shown available apartments and encouraged to apply.
