Had The New York Times or any other newspaper or magazine published that ad, it would be open to charges of housing discrimination under the federal Fair Housing Act of 1968, which prohibits making housing less accessible to anyone because of their race, gender, or religion. If a housing authority fails to reduce concentrations of particular groups or create new segregation, HUD will move to challenge the housing authority's civil rights certification under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and/or the Fair Housing Act of 1968. Under the Fair Housing Act of 1968, anyone who wishes to do so can file a complaint at any HUD office around the country. |
