✍️ The city of Hamtramck, Michigan, has finally fulfilled a 1968 lawsuit settlement by building 200 homes for the victims of discrimination or their families, after decades of delays and financial struggles.
👉 The lawsuit was filed in 1968 and became one of the longest-running civil rights cases over housing in the United States.
👉 The city was accused of intentionally targeting certain Black neighborhoods by demolishing low-income housing.
👉 The settlement required the city to build apartments for seniors and 200 scattered housing units for families.
👉 The city spent years appealing the decision before finally agreeing to the settlement in 1981.
👉 The city's financial struggles, including being placed under state oversight twice, delayed the completion of the project for over 40 years.
👉 The last three homes were built in 2024, with the total cost of the project being approximately $1 million.
