Click here  NAA/NMHC Weigh In on Disparate Impact Theory to the   Supreme Court On Sept. 3, NAA/NMHC joined other real estate groups in filing a "friend of the court" brief in the Mount Holly v. Mount Holly Gardens Citizens in Action, Inc case pending before the Supreme Court.  The outcome of the case will determine if disparate impact claims are allowable under the Fair Housing Act (FHA). Disparate impact theory refers to seemingly neutral policies that may have a disproportionate, adverse effect on members of a protected class, regardless of discriminatory intent. The court's decision could affect common multifamily business policies, such as resident screening, occupancy limitations and Section 8 voucher policies. The coalition brief supported the position that the act does not recognize disparate impact claims.  It also argued that disparate impact liability is a judge-made rule that improperly extends the scope of the Fair Housing Act and creates de facto protected classes.

Government Affairs Update from NAA 

Grassroots advocacy is powerful.  It's the power to speak your mind to your lawmakers on industry issues - and have them listen because you're their constituent.  It's the power to make sure they know how these issues affect you - because it's your business and your livelihood.  Your opinion is important, regardless of your previous level of involvement.  NAA wants to understand your interest in grassroots activities in order to grow the number of advocates and build grassroots movements, which will better influence the public policy process at the federal and state levels. 

Please take a moment to answer some quick questions about where you are and where you want to be with grassroots advocacy.  Start the survey here.
