Washington, DC - Today, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Ranking Member of Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, released the following statement on the Trump Administration's Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) proposal to roll back disparate impact enforcement under the Fair Housing Act:
"HUD's proposal to roll back disparate impact enforcement under the Fair Housing Act would make it far easier to discriminate in the housing market - whether it's by unfairly jacking up prices or establishing policies that make it harder for a person of color, a disabled veteran, or a mom with kids to live in the neighborhood. Democrats will fight back to ensure fair and affordable housing is a reality for everyone."
