Enforcing the fair housing and civil rights requirements attached to federal and other government funds is a powerful tool to attack systemic racial and economic injustice. Advocates and community groups have a rare opportunity to shape the implementation of the new HUD rule on affirmatively furthering fair housing that will guide planning and resource distribution into the future. This session will focus on how systemic fair housing and civil rights claims, particularly when combined with organizing strategies, can be used both to promote access to opportunity and to mitigate the economic, social, educational, and health effects of segregation on high-poverty racially and ethnically concentrated communities.
