Descrição do livro

THIS CASEBOOK contains a selection of U. S. Court of Appeals decisions that analyze, interpret and apply provisions of the Fair Housing Act. The selection of decisions spans from 2012 to the date of publication.

The Fair Housing Act was enacted in 1968 "to eradicate discriminatory practices within a sector of our Nation's economy." Texas Dep't of Hous. & Cmty. Affairs v. Inclusive Communities Project, Inc., 135 S.Ct. 2507, 2521 (2015). The stated policy is "to provide, within constitutional limitations, for fair housing throughout the United States." 42 U.S.C. § 3601. In 1988, Congress extended the Fair Housing Act to protect against discrimination on the basis of disability. City of Edmonds v. Oxford House, Inc., 514 U.S. 725, 728 n.1 (1995); Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, Pub. L. No. 100-430, 102 Stat. 1619 (1988). This was "a clear pronouncement of a national commitment to end the unnecessary exclusion of persons with handicaps from the American mainstream." Hovsons, Inc. v. Twp. of Brick, 89 F.3d 1096, 1105 (3d Cir. 1996) (emphasis and citations omitted). The Supreme Court has held that when construing the Fair Housing Act, "we are to give a 'generous construction' to the statute's 'broad and inclusive' language." Lakeside Resort Enters., LP v. Bd. of Supervisors of Palmyra Twp., 455 F.3d 154, 156 (3d Cir. 2006) (quoting Trafficante v. Metro. Life Ins. Co., 409 U.S. 205, 209 (1972)). Revock v. Cowpet Bay West Condominium Association, (3rd Cir. 2017).

The Fair Housing Act declares that "it is the policy of the United States to provide, within constitutional limitations, for fair housing throughout the United States." 42 U.S.C. § 3601. To achieve this goal, the FHA renders it unlawful to, among other things, "make unavailable or deny, a dwelling to any person because of race, color, religion, sex, familial status, or national origin." 42 U.S.C. § 3604(a). Avenue 6E Investments, LLC v. City of Yuma, Ariz., 818 F. 3d 493 (9th Cir. 2016).
