Obama Administration Unveil Major New Rules Targeting Segregation Across U.S.

[Darts]

When the Fair Housing Act was passed in 1968, it barred the outright racial discrimination that was then routine. It also required the government to go one step further — to actively dismantle segregation and foster integration in its place — a mandate that for decades has been largely forgotten, neglected and unenforced.

Now, on Wednesday, the Obama administration will announce long-awaited rules designed to repair the law’s unfulfilled promise and promote the kind of racially integrated neighborhoods that have long eluded deeply segregated cities like Chicago and Baltimore. The new rules, a top demand of civil-rights groups, will require cities and towns all over the country to scrutinize their housing patterns for racial bias and to publicly report, every three to five years, the results. Communities will also have to set goals, which will be tracked over time, for how they will further reduce segregation.

“This is the most serious effort that HUD has ever undertaken to do that,” says Julian Castro, the secretary of the department of Housing and Urban Development, who will announce the new rules in Chicago on Wednesday. “I believe that it’s historic.”

Officials insist that they want to work with and not punish communities where segregation exists. But the new reports will make it harder to conceal when communities consistently flout the law. And in the most flagrant cases, HUD holds out the possibility of withholding a portion of the billions of dollars of federal funding it hands out each year.

Made this in The Root. It's been low key, but a pretty big and transformational policy change if fully implemented. It could have some unintended consequences tho

look at what is happening with Affirmative action. Every house a black family gets will be looked as a house white people should be in ( to the cac mind of course) expect race riots within 5 to 10 years if these rules are actually inforced.

Well for one, you might get a situation similar to the Medicaid expansion where some local governments just refuse to buy in and turn down federal funds that could be used for local development. The old cut off your nose spite your face route which hurt innocent residents. This could also be potentially politically explosive for Democrats if Repubs get on their messaging grind. It's not exactly a popular policy with the masses because it seems to be a massive disruption of their way of live...which is why it's been so low key until now.

But if this is done right and leads to more Black advancement and equality, then
