The proposed rule, which seeks to eliminate the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) disparate impact regulation, will significantly undermine HUD’s enforcement of the Fair Housing Act’s protections against unlawful discrimination, and make it easier for lenders, landlords and other housing providers to evade the law. Victims of discrimination and the advocates and fair housing agencies that assist them will be hampered in their ability to bring cases challenging violations of the Fair Housing Act. NCLC calls on HUD to withdraw this proposed rule.
