The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has issued a supplemental notice proposing to remove certain regulations regarding “disparate impact.”
Why it matters: This change would shift the legal standard for housing discrimination and federal assistance from agency-set regulations to court-led interpretations, which could change how much oversight agencies have over discriminatory outcomes.
Who it affects
- entities receiving HUD federal financial assistance
This is a proposed rule from HUD; readers should consult the Federal Register for full details before relying on these changes.
