""This administration has ground fair housing enforcement to a halt. Worse, they're picking and choosing which protected classes count.""
""I pray for justice for every person unfairly denied a safe place to live.""
""Months later, I still think about the people impacted by the work I was forced to abandon.""
""If it's something to do with race, if it's anything to do with gender, you're just not allowed to touch that anymore.""
Current and former HUD employees launched a website to accuse the Trump administration of halting fair housing law enforcement. They expressed concerns about selective enforcement of protected classes. Employees reported being unable to assist those affected by discrimination, particularly regarding race and gender. Two civil rights lawyers were fired for raising concerns about unlawful restrictions. The Fair Housing Act mandates HUD to investigate discrimination cases, but recent statements from HUD leadership suggest a shift in priorities that undermines this responsibility.
