History
The report records that "There was no racial covenant on the property at 105-19 37th Avenue (aka 34-68 106th Street)," and that "This was possible in large part due to the lack of racial covenants in most of Corona." It also records that "by 1937, all of Corona south of Astoria Boulevard was subject to Redlining, imposed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), insurance companies, and mortgage lending agencies," and that the Homeowners Loan Corporation "outlined Corona in red and described it as 'Hazardous.'"
