DAY 10: housing SEGREGATION

When we hear the word “segregation”, most of us probably assume it’s in a historical context. Racial segregation is still impacting many peoples’ lives today. However, segregation looks different now than it has in the past. Today, housing segregation is markedly more systemic, under the surface, and covert than it was in America during the pre-civil rights era. Systemic issues, such as segregation, can be easy for individuals and communities who have racial privilege to ignore and/or be unaffected by. 

Housing segregation has wide-reaching effects, and not just in our homes and neighborhoods. In fact, housing segregation has been linked to disparities in wealth, employment, education, health, legal status, and more.

Dr. Scott Hippe, a family physician in Boise, Idaho, spoke at TEDx Spokane in 2018 about Saving Lives In Slow Motion. He brought attention to determinants of population health and how socioeconomic and environmental factors are responsible for the majority of health issues (50%). He suggests a paradigm shift of where we place our priorities in order to foster a healthy community and to save lives. Hippe’s talk reinforces our understanding that where you are located and the conditions in which you are placed contribute to an individual’s ability to achieve good health.

Today, we challenge you to take a detailed look at how housing segregation manifests today and what impact it has on the communities that it disenfranchises.
