(Don Treeger / The Republican file photo) Facebook Share SPRINGFIELD A study by the UMass Donahue Institute has found affordable housing in the Pioneer Valley is increasingly out of reach, particularly among minorities, and further impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. The 52-page report looks at “housing instability,” which is gauged by various measures of affordability as well as data on foreclosures, vacancy rates and homelessness. It says housing inequities in the region stem from economic pressure “as well as a long history overt and covert racist policies and practices that created and reinforced residential segregation.”
