QUESTION: WHAT DOES "HUD" STAND FOR?
'HUD' stands for the
"Department of Housing and Urban Development"
| Who: | HUD = the US Department of Housing and Urban Development |
| What: | Administrative Agency that investigates discrimination |
| Where: | US. Federal. Executive Branch. |
| When: | 1968 |
| How: | Statutes: Fair Housing Act Regulations: 28 CFR 35 - 28 CFR 36 |
| Why: | Combat discrimination to help form a more perfect union, and improve the general welfare |
| Web: | HUD.gov |
People submit their complaints to the agency before filing their lawsuits.
Pertinently, HUD typically lets state agencies (eg, the FCHR) perform the investigations. In most instances, those state authorities make findings/determinations. For which HUD reviews/approves. Soon thereafter, litigants can file suit in federal court.
EXAMPLE A (John Doe)
Immediately, though, HUD lets the Florida Commission on Human Relations investigate his complaint. Doing so as stipulated by its contract (annually renewable).
After almost two years, the FCHR closes John Doe's file. Soon thereafter, he's finally allowed to take his case to federal court. Where a jury of his peers ends up awarding him damages.
EXAMPLE B (Jane Doe)
(b) filed a discrimination complaint with a FEPA (eg, the FCHR) beforehand.
Note on State Agencies
Some of which have ulterior motives (ie, subverting Title VII's purpose).
Some of which, unfortunately, have repugnant methods (eg, Bribery). So, please beware of the state agencies (ie, the "FEPAs") that purport to support HUD's goals.
...POINTS & THINGS...
Please get the justice you deserve.
