covenants

With few options to raise revenue for the tribe, individual Agua Caliente members had rented land to newcomers of color who were barred by real estate covenants from living elsewhere in Palm Springs.

Housing covenants limited Japanese, Chinese and other nonwhite residents from moving into certain neighborhoods.

With the Covenant Homeownership Program set to launch this summer, potentially hundreds of families could realize the dream denied them, their parents or grandparents because of state-supported restrictive covenants.

Developers could tap additional density allowances in areas of the city where residents face a high risk of displacement or where covenants once excluded people of color.

Disney also agrees that a development agreement and restrictive covenants passed before the takeover are also not valid, according to the settlement terms.
