The Fourth Amendment's Forcing Of Flawed Choices: Giving Content To Freedom For Residents Of Public Housing - Pratt V. Chicago Housing Authority, 848 F. Supp. 792 (N.D. Ill. 1994), Erika George

Faculty Scholarship

In April 1994, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois issued a preliminary injunction halting the "Operation Clean Sweep" program operated by the Chicago Housing Authority ("CHA"). ³ The court did so over the protestations of some of those most affected, the public housing residents subjected to the CHA's searches. ⁴ Pratt v. Chicago Housing Authority⁵ attracted the attention of the nation and President William Clinton, who requested that the Justice Department investigate ways to strengthen security in public housing without offending the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution.

Past Is Present: Urban Real Property Rights And Housing Reform In The People's Republic Of China, William D. Soileau

Washington International Law Journal

Since the early 1980s China has embarked on an ambitious program of reform in the systems of urban real property rights and allocation. In many respects, these reforms recall the policies of private property rights protection which prevailed in the early post-Liberation period of P.R.C. history, but which were subsequently abandoned in the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution. In the intervening thirty years, however, the system of "public" urban housing ownership and allocation deteriorated to such an extent that no one—neither the state, its agents, nor private individuals—had sufficient incentives to increase or even preserve these resources. Faced with …

Mains Farm V. Worthington: Fair Housing Laws And Fear Of Adult Family Homes, Todd H. Carlisle

Seattle University Law Review

Although the Mains Farm majority's conclusion that a group home for the disabled is neither a single-family dwelling nor a residential use is certainly questionable,7 this Note is neither intended as an addition to the "what is a family?" definitional debate, nor as a proposal that the issues decided in Mains Farm be re-litigated. Instead, this Note will: (1) analyze the Mains Farm controversy from the often ignored perspective of disabled individuals who benefit from community based group homes, and (2) present applicable state and federal law by which group homes threatened with judicial attack in the wake of the …

Opening Doors: How To Cut Discrimination By Supporting Neighborhood Integration, John Yinger

Center for Policy Research

The last few years have witnessed a quantum leap in the enforcement of fair housing and fair lending legislation. The 1988 Fair Housing Amendments Act gave new enforcement powers to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Department of Justice. For example, HUD can how initiate complaints against housing agents who discriminate. Moreover, several events, including release of the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data, which show wide disparities in loan acceptance rates between whites on the one hand and blacks and Hispanics on the other, have led financial regulatory agencies such as the Federal Reserve Board …

Introduction To Mortgage Lending Discrimination Law, Robert G. Schwemm

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

Although mortgage lending discrimination and the laws that forbid it have been a part of the American landscape for over two decades, it has only been in recent years that this subject has captured the attention of the public, Congress, and federal enforcement officials. The result has been a tremendous upsurge in interest in this field. Still, there are relatively few cases that have been litigated to a conclusion on the merits, and fewer still that have resulted in plaintiff's victories. Thus, we find ourselves in an exciting period of great potential, but as yet not fully realized accomplishment, as …

In From The Cold: Energy Efficiency And The Reform Of Hud's Utility Allowance System, Steven Ferrey

Suffolk University Law School Faculty Works

This article takes a step beyond Professor Ferrey’s prior article published at Harvard, “Cold Power: Energy and Public Housing,” 23 HARV. J. ON LEGIS. 33 (1986), to review and document housing energy problems at the federal and local levels. It offers concrete proposals for a revised federal utility allowance system that, while recognizing technological

limitations facing public housing authorities, would employ more sophisticated statistical tools to administer better the federal utility allowance system.
