- President Donald Trump said he "may end" an Obama-era fair housing regulation designed to eliminate housing segregation because Trump said it is "having a devastating impact on these once thriving Suburban areas."
- The Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) regulation, put in place in 2015 by the Obama administration, was designed to "foster inclusive communities that are free from discrimination."
- In January 2018, the Trump administration suspended the mandate in early 2018 until 2020, saying that it "wasn't working well," citing a statement from the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
- The move did not formally repeal the fair housing rule, and the argument reopened in early 2020 when HUD Secretary Ben Carson issued a proposal to revise and essentially eliminate the AFFH mandate in January of this year.
- Fair housing advocates slammed the move, saying the revised regulation proposed by HUD "is not a rule to affirmatively further fair housing."
