HUD Proposes Fair Housing Rule Changes

HUD recently published an 84-page proposed Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) rule regarding how state and municipal governments address affordable housing opportunities. The rule pertains to the 1968 Fair Housing Act’s requirement that HUD grantees “affirmatively further fair housing.” The proposed rule, once finalized, would replace the AFFH rule published in 2015 under the Obama administration.
