Black and Latino families who were displaced from a Southern California neighborhood in the 1960s have reached a tentative settlement agreement with the city of Palm Springs.

The desert resort city is one of the first in the nation to reach such a deal, which received backing from politicians like Sen. Laphonza Butler.

"Section 14 Survivors" and the city of Palm Springs might be closer to the resolution of a decades-long debate. According to the city and the "Section 14 Survivors" group, both parties reached a settlement agreement of 5.

The City Council is expected to vote on the settlement for residents of a neighborhood that burned more than 50 years ago. It could also consider another $21 million for community programs.
