Restoring Fair Housing Protections and Promoting Inclusive Communities
This act aims to restore and strengthen fair housing protections that were weakened. This means citizens will have greater protection against housing discrimination, and the government will actively work to create more integrated communities. The changes will impact housing accessibility and how discrimination complaints are handled.
Key points
Strengthening the mission of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to create sustainable, inclusive communities and quality affordable homes for all.
Restoring and clearly defining the principle of "affirmatively furthering fair housing," meaning taking actions beyond just combating discrimination to overcome segregation and foster open communities.
Requiring a review of housing discrimination complaints involving digital platforms and artificial intelligence to identify and eliminate new forms of discrimination.
Establishing a publicly available database for fair housing complaints, increasing transparency and allowing citizens to monitor issues in their communities.
Restoring funding for non-profit organizations dedicated to combating housing discrimination, enhancing their ability to help citizens assert their rights.
