In a recent article, the Center’s executive director, Steve Tomkowiak, published an article addressing the roles that residential segregation and discrimination play in the disparate affliction rates in the CIVOD-19 pandemic and other health emergencies.
The article explains how the Fair Housing Act’s affirmatively furthering fair housing (AFFH) requirements, and civil rights enforcement under Title VI and other laws applicable to medical care and treatment (which take place in places of public accommodation), can be used to address disparities in medical outcomes.
