Fair Housing Series Part 4: HUD’s Enforcement Budget Has Been Cut. – Footnotes
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, “File a Fair Housing Complaint,” https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/fair_housing_equal_opp/online-complaint. HUD accepts fair housing complaints online, by phone at 1-800-669-9777, and by mail. The statute of limitations for filing a HUD complaint is one year from the date of the alleged discriminatory act. National Association of Realtors, Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice, Article 10, https://www.nar.realtor/about-nar/governing-documents/code-of-ethics/2024-code-of-ethics-standards-of-practice. Article 10 prohibits REALTORS® from discriminating against any person on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity in the provision of professional services or in the sale or rental of real property. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, internal data compiled through August 31, 2025. Zero formal charges of housing discrimination were filed by HUD’s enforcement division between January 20 and August 31, 2025. One hundred and fifteen pending cases were closed without resolution. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, internal staffing data, February–March 2025. Approximately 4,000 HUD positions were targeted for elimination, representing roughly 50 percent of the agency’s total workforce. FHEO staff cuts were estimated at up to 75 percent of the office’s enforcement personnel. National Fair Housing Alliance v. HUD, No. 25-cv-01566 (D.D.C. filed May 2025). A federal court issued a temporary restraining order blocking HUD’s cancellation of 78 Fair Housing Initiatives Program grants. These grants fund the nonprofit organizations that conduct discrimination testing, provide legal representation for victims, and deliver fair housing education. Civil Rights Act of 1968 (Fair Housing Act), Pub. L. No. 90-284, 82 Stat. 73 (1968). The Act was signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on April 11, 1968, one week after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The bill had been stalled in Congress for years. Its passage followed the urban uprisings of 1967 and 1968 and was widely understood as a response to civil unrest rather than a proactive commitment to housing equity. U.S. Census Bureau, “Quarterly Residential Vacancies and Homeownership,” Q4 2024. The Black homeownership rate of 44.7 percent remains essentially unchanged from the rate recorded in the years immediately following the Fair Housing Act’s passage, and the racial homeownership gap has widened relative to white homeownership rates over the same period. Realtor.com, 2026 Housing Supply Gap Report, March 3, 2026. The U.S. housing supply deficit widened to an estimated 4.03 million homes in 2025. In high-cost metropolitan markets, median home prices and mortgage carrying costs consistently exceed what median-income households in communities of color can qualify for, effectively excluding them from market participation regardless of legal protections.
Fair Housing Series Part 3: Disparate Impact Is Not a Theory. It Is a Law. – Footnotes
U.S. Department of Justice, “Justice Department Reaches $335 Million Settlement to Resolve Allegations of Lending Discrimination by Countrywide Financial Corporation,” December 21, 2011. The settlement resolved allegations that Countrywide discriminated against qualified African American and Hispanic borrowers by charging them higher fees and interest rates than similarly qualified white borrowers between 2004 and 2008. U.S. Department of Justice, “Department of Justice Reaches $175 Million Settlement with Wells Fargo for Discriminatory Mortgage Lending,” July 12, 2012. The settlement resolved allegations that Wells Fargo’s independent mortgage brokers charged African American and Hispanic borrowers higher fees and rates than similarly qualified white borrowers and placed borrowers in subprime loans when they qualified for prime loans. Executive Order No. 14281: Restoring Equality of Opportunity and Meritocracy, April 23, 2025. The order states it is the policy of the United States to eliminate disparate impact liability “in all contexts to the maximum degree possible.” It directed all federal agencies to evaluate pending proceedings relying on disparate impact theories within 45 days. Spencer Fane LLP, “HUD Moves to Dismantle Its Disparate Impact Framework Under the Fair Housing Act,” January 15, 2026. HUD proposed eliminating its disparate impact regulation entirely, with a public comment period closing February 13, 2026. If finalized, the proposal would rescind HUD’s disparate impact regulation and leave further development of the doctrine to the courts. Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell et al. v. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, filed March 2026. In September 2025, HUD issued guidance threatening to decertify state fair housing agencies and cut off funding unless they stopped enforcing protections against housing discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, language, criminal records, source of income, and disparate impact claims. Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs v. Inclusive Communities Project, Inc., 576 U.S. 519 (2015). The Supreme Court held 5-4 that disparate impact claims are cognizable under the Fair Housing Act, affirming that Congress intended the Act to reach facially neutral policies with discriminatory effects. Alliance for Housing Justice, “Statement: Housing Implications of Trump’s Disparate Impact Executive Order,” April 30, 2025. Private litigation remains available for disparate impact claims under the Fair Housing Act regardless of federal enforcement posture, because the Supreme Court’s 2015 ruling established the doctrine as a matter of statutory interpretation that an executive order cannot override.
Fair Housing Series Part 2: Fair Housing Act Was a Compromise – Footnotes
Civil Rights Act of 1968 (Fair Housing Act), Pub. L. No. 90-284, 82 Stat. 73 (1968). Senator Everett Dirksen brokered the compromise removing HUD’s direct enforcement authority, substituting a 30-day conciliation process. Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974, Pub. L. No. 93-495, 88 Stat. 1521 (1974). Prior to ECOA, no federal prohibition existed against denying mortgage credit on the basis of race. Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, Pub. L. No. 95-128, 91 Stat. 1147 (1977). Enacted in direct response to documented redlining by banks accepting deposits from Black communities while refusing to lend there. National Housing Act of 1934, Pub. L. No. 73-479, 48 Stat. 1246 (1934); Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944 (GI Bill), Pub. L. No. 78-346, 58 Stat. 284 (1944). Less than 2 percent of GI Bill home loans went to Black veterans. Rothstein, Richard. The Color of Law (New York: Liveright Publishing, 2017), 59–75. Katznelson, Ira. When Affirmative Action Was White (New York: W.W. Norton, 2005), 113–141. Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988,Fair Housing Series Part 2: Fair Housing Act Was a Compromise Pub. L. No. 100-430, 102 Stat. 1619 (1988). Added administrative law judge system, removed complainant litigation cost requirement, added disability and familial status as protected classes, and substantially increased available damages. ]U.S. Census Bureau, “Quarterly Residential Vacancies and Homeownership,” Q4 2024. Black homeownership rate: 44.7 percent. The racial homeownership gap has not materially improved in five decades since passage. ]Executive Order No. 14281: Restoring Equality of Opportunity and Meritocracy, April 23, 2025. Combined with HUD staff reductions, this effectively removed the enforcement capacity the 1988 Amendments established.
