FHC JOINS FAIR HOUSING GROUPS ACROSS THE COUNTRY DEMANDING WESTCHESTER ENFORCEMENT

In papers filed in Federal District Court in the Southern District of New York, the Fair Housing Center of the Greater Palm Beaches (FHC)  joined with nine other civil rights from across the country in urging the Court to consider fully the facts and perspective brought to the Court’s attention in a May 11th letter from the Anti-Discrimination Center (ADC). Pointing out that the failure to enforce the consent decree against Westchester County will embolden others across the country to perpetuate segregation, the groups asked the Court to order the robust remedies sought by ADC.

In addition to FHC, the groups filing the papers are: Central Ohio Fair Housing Association, Disability Law Center, Enhanced Section 8 Outreach Program, ERASE Racism, Fair Housing Center of Central Indiana, Fair Housing Center of the Greater Palm Beaches, Fair Housing Council of Orange Country, Inclusive Communities Project, Miami Valley Fair Housing Center and  the National Fair Housing Alliance.
