Fair housing organizations have filed a class-action lawsuit against the Trump administration for unlawfully withholding grant funds from the Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP). The plaintiffs are seeking class certification for fair housing organizations affected by HUD's refusal to administer multi-year Private Enforcement Initiative (PEI) awards. They argue that HUD's actions are in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) and due process rights. They also argue that the administration's conduct is arbitrary and capricious.
