The letter highlights housing programs that are marketed as “crime-free” or “nuisance-free” programs, but which may in fact violate the law. Examples include:
–Restricting housing based on criminal histories and sometimes, just an arrest record;
–Failing to provide for a case by case determination of purported safety concerns, including for individuals with convictions;
–Imposing negative housing consequences on an entire household;
–Providing substantial enforcement direction that may be used to target certain people who are protected under federal law;
–Policies adopted with discriminatory intent;
–Violating the Americans with Disabilities Act, including threatening or imposing penalties for calls for disability-related issues, designating a medical or disability-related call as a nuisance, publicizing confidential information about individuals with disabilities in violation of medical privacy laws, and failing to make reasonable modifications to comply with the ADA.
The letter cited the case of a woman who called the police to her home over a domestic violence situation and who was evicted by her landlord, forcing her to uproot from her home city.
