Today’s announcement by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development provides a welcome and critically important national standard for discrimination in housing and housing lending. Fair housing is fundamental to every family’s pursuit of the American Dream. By issuing this disparate impact rule, HUD reaffirmed the nation’s commitment to fairness for all.

CRL lauds the vigilance of the entire civil rights community for its long and hard-fought effort helping to make America’s reality live up to its promises.
