Trump May End Obama Housing Rule, Says It Devastates Suburban Areas

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he may end one Obama-era housing rule, Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH).

“At the request of many great Americans who live in the Suburbs, and others, I am studying the AFFH housing regulation that is having a devastating impact on these once thriving Suburban areas. Corrupt Joe Biden wants to make them MUCH WORSE,” he wrote on a Twitter post. “Not fair to homeowners, I may END!”

The Obama administration published the AFFH rule in July 2015 to impose several legal obligations on local governments, including reviewing fair housing based on maps and tools provided by the U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and submitting plans—known as consolidated plans or ConPlan—every five years.

Trump’s announcement came as the HUD stopped aggressively implementing the AFFH rule.

HUD suspended the obligation of local governments to file consolidated plans under the regulation in January 2018 and withdrew a computer assessment tool required to be used in preparing those plans in May 2018.

In the latest rule (pdf) published on Jan. 7, 2020, HUD changed the definition of AFFH shifting the emphasis from “address[ing] significant disparities in housing” to “advancing fair housing choice within the program participant’s control or influence.”

HUD also gave more flexibility to local governments to identify common barriers to fair housing choice.

And you can’t and won’t have good schools with students who won’t study because they feel that is “acting white”.

‘Are Parents involved, check homework, active in PTA, are educated themselves, value education etc‘

Those are behaviors that are called out as ‘being too White’. Shunned by the activists on the Left. Sadly, we all know that those behaviors are necessary for kids to become successful. But being successful in life is also called ‘being too White’.
