Fair Housing
What is the 'Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing' (AFFH) rule and does it affect Nevada?
AA Nevada state rule requiring all agents to take fair housing courses
BA HUD rule requiring recipients of federal housing funds (including Nevada cities and housing authorities) to take proactive steps to identify and overcome barriers to fair housing and promote racially and economically integrated communities✓ Correct
CA federal rule requiring Nevada to build affordable housing in wealthy neighborhoods
DAn NREC rule requiring brokerages to report their fair housing statistics
Explanation
The AFFH obligation (derived from the Fair Housing Act's requirement to affirmatively further fair housing) requires HUD grantees — including Nevada cities and counties receiving Community Development Block Grants and public housing authorities — to assess local impediments to fair housing and develop plans to overcome them. Clark County and the City of Las Vegas must periodically submit AFFH analyses. This goes beyond not discriminating — it requires proactive steps to integrate communities.
