PRRAC Update (March 30, 2023): Civil rights restoration at HUD

March 30, 2023 by

Civil rights restoration continues at HUD: with the release last week of the “Reinstatement of HUD’s Discriminatory Effects Standard,” HUD continues to repair the damage done to the Fair Housing Act in the prior administration. The Trump administration’s version of the rule, which would have eviscerated the standard, never went into effect because of the preliminary injunction in Massachusetts Fair Housing Center v. HUD, filed in 2020 just before the rule was to go into effect. The new final rule formally re-enshrines the original 2013 rule, which had technically still been in effect pending the injunction. We also look forward to seeing a final AFFH rule later this year, continued expansion of the Small Area Fair Market rent rule, possibly a new metric on how PHAs are evaluated by HUD every year, and maybe even new guidelines on source of income discrimination? We have just updated our HUD civil rights timeline to reflect some of this progress…

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.
