Description

Join us as we delve into the crucial topic of fair housing with our esteemed guest, Ruth Dillingham. With decades of experience as a Real Estate Conveyance attorney and a dedicated advocate for Fair Housing, Ruth provides invaluable insights.
In this episode, we explore the rich history of the Fair Housing Act and shine a light on New Hampshire's own past of segregation, particularly in its largest city, Manchester. Ruth skillfully guides us through the lingering effects of redlining, illuminating how this discriminatory practice continues to shape the landscape of Manchester today. Moreover, we delve into the intersection of redlining and the current housing crisis, offering thought-provoking perspectives on the challenges we face and potential pathways forward.
