The Justice Department recently announced that the owners and developers of 71 multifamily housing communities in four states have agreed to pay $350,000 to settle claims that they violated federal fair housing law by building apartment complexes that were inaccessible to persons with disabilities. All but two of the communities were built with financial assistance from the federal government’s Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program or other federal programs, and include more than 2,500 ground-floor units.
