The Trump administration on Thursday announced it will terminate an Obama-era rule on fair housing and replace it with a new rule under the Fair Housing Act.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) said in a statement that the Obama Administration’s Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) regulation “proved to be complicated, costly, and ineffective.” The HUD said it will repeal the Obama-era rule and is releasing a new rule, called Preserving Community and Neighborhood Choice (pdf).
