“It is imperative that we ensure hardworking families, regardless of racial and ethnic background, are protected against all acts of housing discrimination,” said HUD Secretary Marcia L. Fudge. “The Fair Housing Act is the law of the land – and today's charges show HUD's commitment to rooting out these sorts of injustices across the country.”
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced today that it has charged multiple entities and individuals related to the Homeowner Assistance Services of New York ("HASNY") with housing discrimination for perpetrating a scheme to deceive distressed homeowners into a forfeiting title to their homes.
