Milwaukee has one of the largest gaps between the value of Black-owned homes and other homes: the largest such gaps in the US are in Detroit (46% value gap), Buffalo (43%) Birmingham (43%), St. Louis (41%), and Milwaukee (40%). These disparities in home value contribute to other types of disparities, too, in health, wealth, entrepreneurship and more. #FairHousing

If the new administration fails to take bold and immediate action, Black and Brown people will never fully recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, racial inequality will grow, and the dismantling of fair housing that happened during the Trump administration will combine to make the nation less secure.

“The rule would no longer include cases of ‘disparate impact,’ or practices that are neutral on their face but disproportionately affect women, racial minorities, people with disabilities or LGBTQ people.” #defendcivilrights #fairhousing
The rule change would narrow the definition of discrimination under the Civil Rights Act.

Congratulations to Mary Walsh and Beverly Nance, who sued a retirement community for sex discrimination in July 2018, "after the faith-based facility rejected their housing application, citing its cohabitation policy that defines marriage as between 'one man and one woman, as marriage is understood in the Bible.' The American Civil Liberties Union and the National Center for Lesbian Rights — which filed the case on the couple’s behalf, along with St. Louis attorney Arlene Zarembka and civil rights law firm Relman Colfax — announced Tuesday evening that the lawsuit had been resolved." #FairHousing
Mary Walsh and Beverly Nance sued Sunset Hills-based Friendship Village in 2018, after the faith-based retirement community rejected their housing application based on its "cohabitation policy," which defines marriage as between one man and one woman.
From our friends at the Urban Institute: "Tax credits to low-income renters have the potential to increase housing affordability & stability, address racial segregation & isolation from opportunity, & increase access to opportunity-rich neighborhoods & place-based resources." #FairHousing
Almost any tax policy that tips the scales back toward renters would increase equity.

In order to assist victims of illegal housing discrimination like Shelia, the Fair Housing Council and other organizations across the country use HUD funds that are now at risk of being eliminated. WE NEED YOUR HELP TODAY. Will you make a couple quick phone calls? We promise - it'll take just a few short minutes and it can make a BIG difference. THE BACKGROUND: Earlier this month, the US House of Representatives passed a funding bill that represents a terrible attack on civil rights: it zeroed out funding for HUD grants known as FHIP PEI (Fair Housing Initiatives Program - Private Enforcement Initiative) grants. These funds are used to take complaints from people who have been discriminated against and to investigate those complaints through testing. Without PEI funds, most victims who bring complaints will no longer have access to testing evidence; without that evidence, it can be very difficult for complainants to prevail. Watch Shelia's story, and hear how testing evidence helped her. Now, the Senate is poised to consider its own HUD funding bill, including funding for fair housing work. WHAT YOU CAN DO: Call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected to your Senators' offices. Ask to speak to the staffer who handles housing appropriations. If you are sent to voicemail, please leave a message. Please let your Senators know that in its funding bill for HUD, the Senate must act to preserve the Fair Housing Initiatives Program’s (FHIP) Private Enforcement Initiative funding. In order to conduct meaningful fair housing assistance to victims of discrimination, we ask that the Senate restore the Private Enforcement Initiative component of FHIP, and fully fund the FHIP program at $45.6 million (the President’s request for the FHIP part of HUD's budget). Protection of our civil rights depends on it. Please share this message widely.
