In a January 26, 2021 White House Memorandum, President Biden directed the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to reexamine actions taken during the Trump presidency, and ordering the Secretary to ensure the 1968 Fair Housing Act, which bans discrimination, was being properly administered. On that initiative, Housing Secretary Marcia Fudge moved to reinstate two Obama-era Fair Housing rules rejecting former Secretary Ben Carson’s previous directives.
Secretary Fudge rescinded Secretary Carson’s interpretation of the disparate impact rule, rescinded the Preserving Community and Neighborhood Choice Rule, and reinstated the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule.
Here to discuss the pros, cons, and implications of HUD’s recent changes are several housing policy experts: Howard Husock, Bryan Greene, and Daniel Huff with moderator Ken Marcus.
Featuring:
— Howard Husock, Senior Fellow, Domestic Policy Studies, American Enterprise Institute
— Bryan Greene, Vice President, Policy Advocacy, National Association of Realtors
— Daniel Huff, former General Deputy Assistant Secretary, United States Department of Housing and Urban Development
— Moderator: Hon. Kenneth L. Marcus, Founder and Chairman, Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law
