DISPARATE IMPACT

摘要

The Inclusive Communities Project, Incorporated v. Lincoln Property Incorporated,____F.3d_____, 2019 WL 1529692, No. 17-10943 (5th Cir. Apr. 9, 2019) was a decision by the Fifth Circuit affirming the grant of a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim by defendant apartment owners, the disparate impact claims of an advocacy group for minority Section 8 voucher holders that the minority holders were discriminated against by the failure of the owners to accept vouchers in predominantly white neighborhoods. The court said the plaintiffs failed to show that statistical differences between neighborhoods with voucher holders on the basis of race met the "robust causality" test established in the Supreme Court's prior Inclusive Communities Project. Incorporated decision.
