NAACP Legal Defense Fund -- News
Among the issues identified by the commission were rampant housing discrimination against prospective African-American renters who survived the storms; racially-exclusive apartment listings on housing web sites that were designed to assist evacuees in finding housing after the storms; and discriminatory local policies designed to keep storm survivors out of certain neighborhoods and lock them out of opportunity. The commission also found that federal housing officials have been slow to respond to these abuses. The commission will release a comprehensive report on the state of fair housing enforcement, to be presented to Congress at the end of this year.
