HUD changed fair housing enforcement to eliminate disparate impact liability, focusing enforcement only on intentional Fair Housing Act violations rather than policies with discriminatory effects. The action shifts investigative priorities to municipalities and programs that explicitly exclude people based on race or religion. This reduces housing discrimination protections for renters and homebuyers affected by policies with racially disparate outcomes.
