Explanation
Texas Dept. of Housing v. Inclusive Communities Project (2015) confirmed that the Fair Housing Act covers disparate impact claims — a housing policy can violate the FHA even without discriminatory intent if it has a disproportionate adverse effect on a protected class and lacks adequate justification. This is significant for Delaware zoning decisions, lending practices, and any facially neutral policy that has differential impacts on protected classes.
