A district court judge has issued a temporary injunction preventing the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) from terminating 78 Fair Housing Initiative Program (FHIP) grants for nonprofit organizations contracting to investigate housing discrimination.
Judge Richard G. Stearns, a Clinton administration appointee on the US District Court in the District of Massachusetts, ruled in favor of three nonprofits that sued HUD over the cancellation of approximately $30 million in grant funding. Lila Miller, a lawyer at Relman Colfax, the firm representing the nonprofits, argued the funds termination was illegal because the grants were allotted by Congress. Miller also claimed the termination of the funding was the result of input by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which had no authority to coordinate HUD’s policies.
Lisa Rice, President and CEO of the National Fair Housing Alliance, welcomed the court’s ruling.
“The action DOGE directed is endangering everyday people while empowering wealthy landlords and others to discriminate,” Rice said. “Fair housing organizations are on the front lines of efforts to combat housing discrimination through enforcement of the Fair Housing Act. Without their efforts, survivors of sexual harassment in housing; veterans with disabilities requiring accessible housing; and people of color seeking to buy a home free of racial harassment, and families with children would have no protection or anywhere to turn to uphold the law.”
HUD did not offer an immediate comment on the ruling.
We need to get rid of these judges! DOGE is doing what we asked!
I love Doge besides most non profits are run by psychiatrist whom are total criminals and complete enemies to all of mankind and psychologists who are also enemies to mankind.
They are the correct reason we have so many homeless people and drug addicts and alcoholics that never get better… a real sewer system! Go Doge Go! Research has it pegged that 79% homeless were under the care of psychiatrist/psychologist!! Plus my friends brother works at a psychiatric facility and he told me they throw people out of the facility for good at 3 am dump them on the street!!
These judges are the last line of defense for the ultra-corrupt deep state.
Agree!!
As Real Estate professionals we need to do everything in our power to protect anyone with the ability and desire to own a home in the United States of America.
I don’t agree. They’re giving 3 1/2% loans with lenient and everything else to illegal aliens and that’s not fair to the American people when we have to put 20% down and jump through hoops. It’s just not OK.
And all of these lawsuits that they keep using our taxpayer money is infuriating especially when they keep getting overturned. It’s a waste of our tax money time everything.
Please quote your sources. I’m interested.
They need to eliminate all of these programs. They’re withholding tons of inventory all over the country.
will if the grants/funds/money are not going to where the program intends, and therefore not honoring the program, then grants may need
to be eliminated. You not do not send your phone bill amount to your personal savings account, do you? If so, then the stewardship of your finance needs to be in more capable hands to make sure your phone bill gets paid. If that is not the case, then you would take our documentation to the courts to confirm you did send your phone payment to your phone company and did not deposit into your savings. And all is well and you will be more diligent in the future.
