anti-displacement policies

Anti-displacement policies are measures designed to prevent or mitigate the forced relocation of residents, particularly in neighborhoods undergoing rapid development or revitalization. These policies aim to protect vulnerable communities, often low-income families, from being pushed out due to rising rents and property values. Common strategies include rent control, affordable housing initiatives, and support for local businesses. By prioritizing community stability and equitable growth, these policies seek to ensure that long-term residents can remain in their homes and neighborhoods, promoting social cohesion and diversity in urban areas.
