Housing Inequality in Richmond

Friday, March 18, 2022 | 7:00 – 8:30 pm via Zoom

Richmond has the second highest eviction rate in the nation. The issues that have led to the high numbers include a mixed real estate market, meaning a hot market in some areas but not others; low minimum wage; lack of laws that support tenants; low investment in affordable housing; and the low cost for landlords filing for an eviction in Virginia. While other states may have one of these issues, the combination of all of these factors has led to Richmond reaching its current state. At the same time, many African Americans and people of color with the means to buy a home, the American dream, face evolving barriers.
