New HUD Guidance, Growing to 2,000 units with Benton Moss

HUD Releases New Fair Housing Guidance for Housing Providers

I read this entire 24-page PDF last week, and it made me so angry I had to step away from my computer.

It’s actually difficult for me to rationally discuss this topic, so I’m not even going to try. Instead I recommend you read this guidance for yourself and draw your own conclusions.

If you are a housing provider of any kind (landlord, property manager, RE developer, REIT, etc) or your company does tenant screening in any capacity (eg you develop tenant screening software), you need to read this.

I would love to link out to a great summary or article with actionable takeaways. If you know of something like that, please let me know.
