Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing at HUD: A First Term Report Card, Part II (Lawyers’ Committee, National Fair Housing Alliance & PRRAC, March 2013)

March 1, 2013 by

A Lawyers’ Committee, National Fair Housing Alliance & PRRAC Program Review (March 2013).

Excerpt: “The Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, hereinafter ‘the Act’) prohibits discrimination in a wide range of housing-related transactions, and it also includes an affirmative obligation on the part of HUD and its grantees to ‘Affirmatively Further Fair Housing’ (AFFH). This is the provision of the Act that requires HUD and its grantees to avoid the perpetuation of segregation, and to take affirmative steps to promote racial integration.  Compliance with this provision at the state and local level is currently monitored through regular fair housing certifications by grantees, and regular local development and publication of the ‘Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing’ (AI), which assesses local barriers to integration and steps necessary to overcome these barriers.”

PRRAC – Poverty & Race Research Action Council

The Poverty & Race Research Action Council (PRRAC) is a civil rights law and policy organization based in Washington, D.C.
