Fair Housing Litigation to Prevent the Loss of Federally Assisted Housing: The Duties of PHA's and Project Owners (Part Two)

This NHLP Housing Law Bulletin article from Jul.-Aug. 2001 is part two of two articles and is an extension of an article on the fair housing duties of HUD regarding the loss of federally assisted housing. This article outlines the sources of demographic statistical data and other related information available on the Internet to support claims, describes how to approach the formulation of discriminatory effect theories in situations involving the loss of public housing and federally assisted multifamily housing, and discusses the anticipated objections to the imposition of discriminatory effect liability against PHAs and project owners.
