Redlining was a government-sanctioned discriminatory policy that designated most urban minority-majority neighborhoods as places banks should not offer home mortgages. The term originates in color maps developed in the late 1930s by Homer Hoyt, an economist with the Federal Housing Administration, to direct mortgage loans made by the Home Owner’s Loan Corp. Redlining refers to the map’s color-coded neighborhood types: red zones indicated high-risk investments; yellow zones medium risk; and green zones low risk.

Earlier this week, Mayor Carolyn Goodman publicly begged the governor to lift business restrictions on non-essential businesses.

Today, we face two unprecedented challenges due to COVID-19: the immediate health crisis and the resulting economic emergency. Southern Nevadans have faced many challenges, and defeating COVID-19 and implementing an economic recovery plan will test our mettle once again — like never before.
