Housing audit shows Cedar Rapids fair housing gaps widening
The Gazette reports Cedar Rapids scored poorly in a housing discrimination audit, with 29 of 39 property managers treating black applicants differently from whites. The audit used trained testers, funded by federal housing dollars, and is part of ongoing efforts by the Cedar Rapids Civil Rights Commission to mediate, educate, and prepare for a follow up audit in a year or two.
