Another county has rejected grants covered by HUD’s Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule, effectively nullifying a federal program designed to gain control over local communities.
New HUD regulations known as Affirmatively Further Fair Housing (AFFH), totaling 377 pages in all, give unelected HUD bureaucrats broad powers over grant recipient communities, including the power effectively negate decisions by local voters and force them to join “regions” against the their wishes. Under AFFH, the federal government can control zoning, planning, land use, location of public transportation, and even the socioeconomic diversity of elementary and secondary classrooms.
In August, Forsyth County commissioners voted 5-0 to decline a federal grant from the HUD Community Development Block Grant Entitlement Program.
Rather than submit to federal control, the commission elected to simply reject the funding.
According to Property Value Defense, the primary issue with AFFH rules lies in its promotion of “regionalism.”
HUD, DOT and the EPA have been instrumental in fostering regionalism since 1993.Towns, counties and states need to follow the lead of these local communities and reject federal funding with all of its strings.These agencies are working feverishly to infill suburbs by transplanting urban families into the outlying communities, which then merge with nearby counties and towns into larger regions managed by unelected councils.
Even HUD’s new Assessment of Fair Housing, the document applicants must complete to receive AFFH related grants, requires grant recipients to align their local plan with a regional plan.
