HUD recently announced that it has reached a $630,000 agreement with a group of Illinois property owners and a management company using rental screening policies that prevented applicants with mental disabilities from living in a supportive living complex that the group owned. The community was accused of violating the Fair Housing Act as well as Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability by any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.
