Washington victorious over HUD’s attack on fair housing protections

Washington and other states have secured relief from unlawful conditions the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) attempted to place on funds state and local agencies use to enforce fair housing laws.  
 
The legal win protects federal funding for Washington under the Fair Housing Assistance Program (FHAP) to support efforts to protect residents from housing discrimination. In recent years, FHAP funds to the state have ranged from approximately $180,000 to $365,000 annually.
