Black residents who experienced housing discrimination became eligible for housing grants after a 2019 reparations vote, but, as noted by Robinson, who co-authored a city-commissioned study on housing practices: “It’s a lot, a lot of work, and be prepared for pulling back old wounds, telling truth, gaining the trust."
