Quiver AI Summary
Congresswoman Lateefah Simon and Congressman Al Green have led a coalition of 50 colleagues in a letter to HUD Secretary Scott Turner, expressing serious concerns about the enforcement of the Fair Housing Act. They highlight various reductions in investigation activities and staff at HUD since the Trump Administration, which may hinder anti-discrimination efforts.
The letter cites increasing complaints of housing discrimination, with over 34,000 reported in 2023, emphasizing that marginalized groups, including veterans and people of color, could be severely impacted by HUD's current policies. Simon and Green request a detailed report on HUD's enforcement plans and staffing by October 17, 2025.
In a statement, they warned that "These actions will lead to devastating outcomes for our nation’s most vulnerable populations," urging HUD to reverse course and ensure fair housing opportunities for all. Simon has previously advocated for increased funding for Fair Housing programs.
