Councilman
RICKY BURGESS

Councilman Ricky Burgess’s District 9, which includes eight minority neighborhoods in  the city’s East End, saw only $451 million in loan dollars between 2007 and 2019, just 3.8% of  the citywide total, the lowest of all Council districts. During this period, lenders approved 746  loans for $186 million in fast gentrifying East Liberty, while Homewood West only received 35  loans for $1.5 million.

 

In 2014, Larimer (nearly 90% minority) was the recipient of a $30  million Choice Neighborhoods grant. But when private lending is examined, financial  institutions approved just 102 loans for $66 million in Larimer over the thirteen-year period. In  contrast, District 9’s only non-minority neighborhood, Point Breeze North, where the  Councilman lives, received 462 loans for $80 million between 2007 and 2019.
