Gentrification

Gentrification

Gentrification is the transition of a community from low-income or working-class to middle-class or affluent residents. This happens when developers purchase housing stock and raise the rents or property beyond the reach of low-income residents. The Urban League has been a champion against gentrification for more than 3 years. The Mayor’s office created the Neighborhoods in Transition Task Force and the Urban League is a part of this work.
