The National Fair Housing Alliance, BLDS, LLC, and Fair Housing Advocates of Northern California held a media conference call Thursday, October 22 at 11:00 am ET to discuss their newly filed federal lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) “disparate impact” rule, which will make it exceedingly harder for victims of discrimination to fight against systemic racism and discriminatory policies put in place by housing providers, financial institutions, and insurance companies that deprive people of the services and opportunities they need.

Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) joined leaders of The National Fair Housing Alliance, National Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law (Lawyers’ Committee), The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC) Lending, and Center for Responsible Lending for a media conference call on September 24 at 4:00 pm ET to condemn one of the Trump administration’s most extreme moves yet to dismantle civil rights protections.
