N.Y. Welfare Agencies Accused of Block-Busting
NEW YORK (JTA)—The Asso-
ciation of Jewish Anti-Poverty
Workers charged that the city's
welfare department has leased
homes in the heart of Jewish neigh-
borhoods and dumped multiple
fatherless families into those
houses," thus allegedly paving the
way for block-busting in the Jew-
ish sections.
Elly Rosen, association execu-
tive director, said the alleged
dumping practices by Jules Sugar-
man, head of the Human Resources
Administration as well as commis-
sioner of social services, was un-
fair both to the Jewish commu-
nities and to the welfare fami-
lies, who "are greeted with anger
in those communities because the
residents know that in their wake
comes the block-buster." He noted
that Mrs. Eleanor Holmes Norton,
the city human rights commis-
sioner, recently directed hearings
on block-busting in the Jewish sec-
tions of Laurelton and Rockaway
in Queens, and in East Flatbush in
Brooklyn.
Block-busting is a practice of
unscrupulous realtors who sell
a home on a white block to a
black family and then offer to
buy homes from the other white
families on the block at deflated
prices caused by the panic the
realtors seek to create. The
realtors then sell the homes to
Black families at inflated prices.
