Santa Monica, CA Right to Return pilot prioritizes families displaced by discriminatory policies
Santa Monica, CA Right to Return Families Displaced Pilot
The program places successful applicants at the top of the city's Below Market Rate Housing list. Eligible residents were directly impacted by eminent domain decisions in the Belmar Triangle and Pico neighborhoods in the 1950s and 1960s. The city asks for proof of residency in impacted neighborhoods by applicants or their guardians prior to approval. Santa Monica sought 100 applicants for returns to city-funded housing in these areas in recognition of historical disparities.
