Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs v. Inclusive Communities Project, Inc.

ICP (plaintiff), a nonprofit assisting low-income families with housing, alleged that the Texas Housing Department's (defendant) tax-credit allocation criteria disproportionately concentrated low-income housing credits in predominantly Black neighborhoods, violating Fair Housing Act provisions barring housing unavailability and real-estate discrimination based on race; the district court ruled for ICP, and the court of appeals held disparate-impact claims cognizable under the Act but reversed and remanded on the merits.
