UPDATE: HUD Secretary Ben Carson to be sued for suspending Obama-era fair-housing rule
Source: Washington Post
Fair-housing advocates plan to file a lawsuit early Tuesday morning against the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and HUD Secretary Ben Carson for suspending an Obama-era rule requiring communities to examine and address barriers to racial integration.
The 2015 rule required more than 1,200 communities receiving billions of federal housing dollars to draft plans to desegregate their communities — or risk losing federal funds.
After nearly 50 years of inaction, the rule was seen as a belated effort by HUD to enforce the landmark civil rights legislation of the 1968 Fair Housing Act, which compelled communities to use federal dollars to end segregation in residential neighborhoods.
The 2015 rule, developed over a six-year period, required every community receiving HUD funding to assess local segregation patterns, diagnose the barriers to fair housing and develop a plan to correct them. Most communities were supposed to submit their plans to HUD every five years, beginning in 2016. Communities without HUD-approved plans would no longer receive federal housing dollars.

A lawsuit to be filed at midnight by fair-housing advocates accuses Carson of unlawfully suspending a 2015 rule intended to enforce the 1968 Fair Housing Act by compelling communities to draft plans to desegregate — or risk losing federal dollars. The Obama-era rule was intended to end nearly 50 years of inaction. Carson, who has long criticized the federal efforts to desegregate American neighborhoods as “failed socialist experiments,” suspended the rule in January.
This is a developing story. It will be updated.
