Community Development and Fair Housing: A Work Still in Progress

Laurence D. Pearl

Housing Policy Debate, 2014, vol. 24, issue 1, 288-296

Abstract: The U.S. Congress enacted the Fair Housing Act in 1968. It contained a cryptic provision stating that the secretary of housing and urban development was to administer programs and activities relating to housing and urban development in such a manner as to "affirmatively further fair housing." Congress enacted the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program in 1974. This article describes the halting steps of HUD and the courts to interpret "affirmatively furthering fair housing" as it applies to the CDBG program.
