Tell Dr. Carson and HUD to end unfair housing policies
Stop Secretary Carson's and HUD's unfair housing policies like the One Strike Rule and No-Fault Policy which allows families to be kicked out of housing for a single low-level offense or a crime committed by a guest.
Why is this important?
Although the 1968 Fair Housing Act has helped reverse wrongful housing practices, Dr. Carson and HUD appear to be helping history repeat itself with their unfair housing policies. Not only are the policies unfair, but they will create greater housing disparities and an eviction crisis among the poor.
If Secretary Carson has not done so already, I implore him to establish an advisory committee of public servants/Social Workers and other social service agencies to explore holistic,family centered, and empowering approaches to his housing policies. As Social Workers and gatekeepers of our communities, we are in a better position to offer innovative approaches to addressing issues of housing.
