Abstract

ABSTRACT Mitigating the harms of gentrification to communities of color is a pressing challenge. One promising approach is preference policies that enable long-term residents to remain in or return to gentrifying neighborhoods. This mixed-methods study evaluates the City of Portland’s “Preference Policy,” which provides targeted affordable rental housing to residents displaced from a historically Black neighborhood. This paper draws on survey, interview, and focus group data to explore resident motivations, changes to well-being, and recommendations for improving the policy. Findings suggest preference policies can enhance well-being, and underscore the need for comprehensive strategies to advance racial justice in gentrifying neighborhoods.

优惠政策能促进种族正义吗？

摘要减轻中产阶级化对有色人种社区的危害是一项紧迫的挑战。一个有前景的方法是优惠政策，使长期居民能够留在或返回绅士化社区。这项混合方法研究评估了波特兰市的“优惠政策”，该政策为从历史上的黑人社区流离失所的居民提供有针对性的经济适用房。本文利用调查、访谈和焦点小组数据，探讨居民的动机、幸福感的变化以及改善政策的建议。研究结果表明，优惠政策可以提高幸福感，并强调需要制定全面的战略来促进绅士化社区的种族正义。
