Utah Housing Coalition’s May Monthly Partner Meeting

Join NCRC Senior Director of Research Jason Richarson as he hosts Utah Housing Coalition’s May Monthly Partner Meeting. Richardson will provide an in-depth exploration of Utah’s redlining history and its contemporary impact.

Through interactive data visualization and historical documents, we’ll examine how discriminatory housing practices became embedded through government policies, social pressures, and structural barriers in lending. The presentation will connect historical redlining maps with modern mortgage data spanning 40 years, revealing how century-old patterns continue to shape today’s communities across both urban and rural Utah. We’ll analyze the resulting disparities in wealth accumulation, health outcomes, and economic opportunity for Utah residents.

The session concludes with concerning new mortgage findings from 2024 that indicate homeownership is increasingly becoming accessible only to those with existing wealth. Throughout the presentation, you’ll have ample opportunities to engage with the data through interactive tools and participate in Q&A discussions.
