NFHA et al v Carson update: Two weeks ago, in response to the lawsuit challenging the suspension of the AFFH process, HUD withdrew its original suspension notice and substituted a "withdrawal" of the AFFH Assessment Tool, which is the form that is required to comply with the AFFH rule. Although this regulatory maneuver changed nothing on the ground, it forced the plaintiffs to amend their complaint, resubmit their preliminary injunction motion and accompanying affidavits, and respond in more detail to HUD's attempts to justify its indefinite suspension of the rule. You can see the amended pleadings on our
NHFA v. Carson page.
Source of Income Discrimination: We have posted our annual update of the directory of "State, Local, and Federal Laws Barring Source of Income Discrimination" - with additional sections on proposed legislation, and recent academic articles. Congratulations to Washington State on joining a growing list of states that protect families with Housing Choice Vouchers from discrimination!
