Today, Trump\u2019s Department of Justice (DOJ), without first proposing the change and seeking comment from the public, revised a decades-old regulation that bars recipients of federal funding from engaging in practices that have unintended, negative impacts on people based on race, color, or national origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">The DOJ released the final rule undoing protections people in the U.S. have enjoyed since the passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964. The new rule specifically attacks Title VI of the law\u2014now stating that recipients of federal dollars can only be held accountable for acts of discrimination that can be proven to be intentional. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">DOJ plays a coordinating role in the federal government with respect to Title VI enforcement. Rolling back this key civil rights responsibility is a grave injustice to the institution\u2019s mission. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">Nikitra Bailey, Executive Vice President, National Fair Housing Alliance, issued the following statement:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">\u201cThe country is less fair and just today\u2014without core protections that Title VI has provided for decades. Robust Title VI enforcement ensures that everyone benefits from key government programs that too often bypass some in need, such as disaster relief. This provision also ensures that cities do not overburden predominantly Black, Latino, Asian American and Pacific Islander, and Native neighborhoods with toxic waste. Without disparate impact, it will be immeasurably harder to address such unjust results and remove arbitrary and unnecessary barriers to fairness. We call on Congress to immediately restore Title VI\u2019s full protections and increase its oversight of the Trump Administration\u2019s attacks on fair housing opportunities during the nation\u2019s fair and affordable housing crisis.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\"><strong>For interviews<\/strong>, please e-mail&nbsp;NFHA&nbsp;Senior Advisor for Communications, Marketing, and Education&nbsp;<strong>Julian Glover&nbsp;at JGlover@NationalFairHousing.org<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph has-text-align-center\"><strong>###<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\"><em>The National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA) is the country\u2019s only national civil rights organization dedicated solely to eliminating all forms of housing and lending discrimination and ensuring equal opportunities for all people.
