The pressure on the government to do something about rising housing costs has resulted in the Biden administration announcing major new initiatives to safeguard tenants and make renting more affordable.
Now, several federal agencies announced they would collaborate to compile data on discriminatory housing practices.
“Since taking office, the president has taken substantial steps to promote fairness in the rental market and ease the burden of rental costs for millions of American renters,” administration officials wrote in a Fact Sheet. The White House said more than $769 million has been provided for housing stability services by the Administration.
And, recently, HUD published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on its efforts to Affirmatively Further Fair Housing. Reportedly, tenant unions, community organizations, and legal advocacy groups have called for an all-out strategy, preparing an executive order for the Biden administration, advocating for a housing emergency declaration, and investigating rent control options.
