The groups also pledged their support for the brave employees who have filed this alarming complaint.&nbsp;<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">We commend these brave and dedicated public servants for calling attention to HUD\u2019s unlawful refusal to fully enforce the Fair Housing Act and other critical civil rights laws. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/09\/22\/realestate\/trump-fair-housing-laws.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The New York Times article<\/a> about their whistleblower complaint states the release of internal documents supports their complaint about HUD\u2019s Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity explicitly impairing its fair housing responsibilities by:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"content-wrap-item post__list post__list-undefined wp-block-list\" value=\"\">\n<li>Setting a policy of refusing to act on any fair housing complaints that the Trump Administration does not favor.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stripping authority to act on statutorily required fair housing responsibilities from career HUD officials.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Undermining fair housing enforcement within the agency.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">In his confirmation hearing, HUD Secretary Scott Turner promised he would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.c-span.org\/clip\/senate-committee\/user-clip-exchange-between-senator-warnock-and-scott-turner\/5155449&amp;sa=D&amp;source=docs&amp;ust=1758571847125054&amp;usg=AOvVaw1h1F2eTZu0qmOJ1LuGX2RJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201ccommit to upholding the fair housing laws<\/a>\u201d during an exchange where he was asked whether he would commit to the vigorous enforcement of the nation\u2019s fair housing laws. Under his direction, HUD has not lived up to the promise. Instead, HUD has refused to act on complaints of discrimination; rolled back key fair housing protections; decimated the ranks of staff devoted to fair housing investigation and enforcement; and tried to eliminate funding for organizations dedicated to assisting victims of housing discrimination. Now, having drastically degraded our nation\u2019s fair housing enforcement infrastructure, HUD has the audacity to say it must \u201cdeprioritize\u201d disfavored complaints because it lacks the resources for full enforcement. This \u201cdeprioritization\u201d conflicts with the federal Fair Housing Act for which Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and so many others fought.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">These illegal acts leave many vulnerable people who rely on HUD\u2019s fair housing resources without protection. People HUD has abandoned include: veterans with disabilities seeking to get off the streets and into permanent housing; seniors who need a safe place to live; survivors of domestic violence and\/or sexual assault fleeing abuse with their children; people with disabilities who are denied accessible housing; Black and Latino consumers trying to secure a home loan on fair terms; women experiencing sexual harassment by their landlords; and others seeking housing free of discrimination during the escalating fair and affordable housing crisis. Making affordable housing and homeownership opportunities available to all should be a top priority for Sec. Turner, but instead, HUD is affirmatively dismantling its capacity to carry out its statutory responsibility to enforce the Fair Housing Act and other fundamental civil rights laws.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">We urge Congress and the HUD Inspector General to vigorously investigate this complaint and to provide the oversight that is so desperately needed to ensure Congress\u2019s intentions are fulfilled and the nation\u2019s fair housing laws are fully enforced.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"content-wrap-item post__heading post__heading-undefined wp-block-heading\">National Organizations&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">National Fair Housing Alliance<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">AFT: Education, Healthcare, Public Services\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">American Civil Liberties Union&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">Americans for Financial Reform Education Fund&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">Center for Law and Social Policy&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">Clearinghouse on Women\u2019s Issues&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">Coalition on Human Needs&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">Drug Policy Alliance&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">Empowering Pacific Islander Communities (EPIC)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">Equal Justice Society&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">Equal Rights Advocates&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">Feminist Majority Foundation&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">Japanese American Citizens League (JACL)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">Jewish Council for Public Affairs&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">Lawyers\u2019 Committee for Civil Rights Under Law&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">Latino Justice PRLDEF&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">Legal Defense Fund&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">Lawyers\u2019 Committee for Civil Rights Under Law&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">NAACP&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">National Alliance to End Sexual Violence&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">National Black Justice Collective (NBJC)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">National Council of Negro Women (NCNW)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">National Coalition for Asian Pacific American Community Development (National CAPACD)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">National Council of Asian Pacific Americans (NCAPA)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">National Homelessness Law Center&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">National Housing Law Project&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">National Low Income Housing Coalition&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">National Partnership for Women &amp;
