Title
Letter from Harriet Fusfeld
Description
Directed towards the Human Relations Commission of Ann Arbor, this letter describes a variety of ongoing tacit policies creating barriers to fair housing in the city. Of importance is an anecdote on page 2 about a local landlord who constructed apartments out of various homes in Ann Arbor - all of which he neglected to service while keeping rent high (see “Related Item(s)” for more). Fusfeld notes that local organizations, such as the NAACP, were planning to work on or grow outreach efforts to residents to ensure their rights remained respected and protected.
