Imagine a society in which every child and every person can live in a neighborhood with ample affordable and accessible housing, fresh air, clean water, good public transportation, living wage jobs, quality healthcare, healthy foods, and affordable credit. That is what the affirmatively furthering fair housing (AFFH) provision of the Fair Housing Act means. 
However, HUD has issued an Interim Final Rule that guts the AFFH provision of the Fair Housing Act and takes away the guidance and technical assistance that states and localities need to develop inclusive, thriving communities. Although issued as an Interim Final Rule, HUD is still taking comment until May 2nd. 
The National Fair Housing Alliance has drafted a comment for sign on that strongly urges HUD to immediately withdraw the 2025 AFFH IFR (and reinstate the 2021 AFFH IFR) because
1. People in America Are in the Middle of a Fair and Affordable Housing Crisis
2. This Rule Will Only Worsen the Housing Crisis
The comment is open to all national and local organizations. We hope you can sign on!
