The document summarizes the concentration of subsidized housing in Richmond, Virginia and how it relates to historic redlining. It shows that areas graded as "undesirable" by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in 1937 had significantly more foreclosures from 2007 to 2009. It also discusses the redevelopment of historically black neighborhoods like Navy Hill and Fulton in Richmond in the 1950s-60s, which displaced many residents and destroyed community institutions.
