Black Landlords

The City has an in-depth article that looks at the impact that COVID and the eviction/rent moratoriums are having on Black landlords throughout the city. Owning a home and renting out part of it has been an important way for Black New Yorkers to slowly acquire generational wealth despite the persistent effects of redlining on communities of color.

“One intervention that treats all housing the same is not good policy,” he said. “We need to have programs ready for small landlords since losing that generation of ownership is unacceptable.”

People needing affordable housing will be hurt too, small landlords say.

“Our tenants are immigrants, legal and otherwise,” said Redhead. “We are the ones providing affordable housing in our neighborhoods. If owners like me go under who is going to step in and rent to these people?”
