(BCN)-The Contra Costy Clerk-Recorder office is about to start searching for the official bias in the province’s real estate records.
The province announced on Wednesday the launch of its initiative, “Maps Drawing in the Costa Costa Province”, an initiative that relies on society to determine and appoint restrictions racism. The items were introduced in local real estate records to preserve people who were not eggs of possessing or occupying property.
The boycott in the project begins in partnership with the project of bias in mapping, a research team based at the University of Minnesota that has worked with societies throughout the country on maps since 2016.
The project will involve the population to determine the necessary information and support it to place these restrictions that are now carried on a modern map.
The Contra Costa Project is a response to the California Association’s law 1466 of 2021 to assign the provincial registrants to develop a plan to determine the discriminatory covenants of racist from all property records throughout the state.
The province said in a statement that the initiative will take an educational approach focusing on society to achieve its goal. The Recorder Writer Office reviewed 9 million records at the beginning, as thousands of them were marked for a potential restriction language.
The rumors are commonly included in the actions of property to exclude minority groups from possessing or occupying some real estate or living in certain societies.
Despite the prohibition of the fair housing law of 1968, the covenants are still included in some property records, which enhances inequality and separation today.
“The appointment of bias in the province of Contra Costa is more than finding a discriminatory language in old documents-it is related to community education and participation,” Christine Conane said in the statement in the statement.
“By facing this hidden history, we can better understand its permanent impact on our neighborhoods. I have heard from the residents who are bothering this language in the official records of their homes and want to remove it. There is a true educational opportunity for all our societies about this historical existence of these illegal eras here in the Contra Costa,” said Conlealeli. “
Officials will train volunteers, who will reach a digital portal to examine the historical real estate records developed by the Minnesota University research team.
