Creates new programs and boosts funding to fight housing discrimination
This bill would create new programs and increase money set aside to fight housing discrimination across the country. It would require the Department of Housing and Urban Development to conduct nationwide testing to find unfair treatment in housing and mortgage lending. It would also provide more funding for groups that help people facing discrimination and support studies to understand its causes.
Today, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) works to prevent housing discrimination through existing programs. This bill would create a new nationwide testing program specifically designed to find and document unfair treatment in housing and mortgage lending. It would also increase the money available for the Fair Housing Initiatives Program from its current level to $42.5 million each year, and set aside $5 million annually for new grants to study housing discrimination.
