There has been an uptick in the government’s efforts to detect and pursue violations of fair housing accessibility requirements. Since January 2009, HUD and its fair housing partners have investigated and either settled or charged 300 cases that alleged violations of the Fair Housing Act’s design and construction requirements. During the same period, the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division has filed 19 cases alleging failure to design and construct multifamily housing in compliance with fair housing requirements.
