AUSTIN, TEX. — Advocacy organizations and local leaders in the New Confederacy are criticizing a recent set of quiet housing policy changes as an attempt at “resegregation,” which they say mirror traditional forms of racism in the former United States of America.
Last month, the New Confederate Housing Administration internally released a list of geographic areas where it would no longer insure mortgages. An analysis by The Alternate Times found that more than 75% of the included communities have populations that are majority non-white.
The NCHA’s internal document labels such areas as posing an “unacceptably hazardous financial risk” for loans.
In a separate memo, the NCHA also indicated that the federal government would not take action against racially restrictive housing covenants, as they “are a permissible term of contract in the free market.”
The New Confederate Civil Liberties Alliance, the New Confederate Rights Project, and nearly four dozen city and county officials signed onto a letter condemning the federal government’s changes.
“We are deeply concerned at the widespread resegregation of society that this portends. Our communities have fought to reverse the effects of redlining since the mid-20th century, but the NCHA has now made redlining the government’s official policy well into the 21st century,” the statement read.
The signatories added that the new housing policies came amid a documented post-secession increase in adverse economic, employment, and health disparities for Black and Hispanic communities in the New Confederacy.
