It is already hard to fight racism and discrimination in housing. This important legal tool shouldn’t be taken away. #DefendCivilRights #FightForHousingJustice
Disparate impact refers to policies and practices that seem neutral or fair but in practice- either intentionally or not - negatively impact people protected under the Fair Housing Act. #DefendCivilRights #FightForHousingJustice
Black homeownership levels haven’t been lower since the 1960s, when race-based discrimination was legal. Now, the Trump Administration is making it harder for those who most need protection and making it easier for landlords to discriminate against people of color.
The #FairHousingAct bans discrimination based on race, country of origin, religion, sex, disability + familial status. @HUDgov's rule would make it harder for residents to win “#DisparateImpact” claims—propping up, rather than preventing, institutional discrimination and racism.
If you oppose #HousingDiscrimination, you can submit a comment about the importance of protecting everyone’s rights to access housing of their choice before October 8th here: regulations.gov/document?D=HUD…
