To qualify for FHA funding, most building developers simply didn’t build any homes for people of color at all. Even when people of color had the money and the desire to leave the city, they thus rarely had the option to do so. Out (or too-obvious) queer people, particularly queer people of color, were left with even fewer options. They were considered unfit for the suburbs and for the projects, while their old neighborhoods had been destroyed to make way for both.
