Fair Housing Cases

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is charged with primary responsibility for enforcing the Fair Housing Act (FHA). The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) also pursues fair housing claims under certain circumstances, such as when there is an alleged pattern or practice of discrimination. Read fair housing administrative decisions and more from both agencies.
