foreclosure crisis, homes in the city’s
predominantly minority working class
neighborhoods that were previously
family-owned have been purchased in
foreclosure by slumlords and these
neighborhoods are now the victims of
predatory rental and eviction practices.
The commenter stated that the city did
not update its AI for approximately 20
years (although it finally completed an
AI this year).
Another commenter requested
notification from HUD when AFFH
documents are published that impact
local governments.
HUD Response: HUD appreciates the
commenters’ suggestions. HUD
reviewed the case law cited by the
commenter and has concluded that the
cases are not applicable to the obligation
to affirmatively further fair housing
under the Fair Housing Act and under
the AFFH rule. HUD continues to assert
that the AFFH rule and the Assessment
Tool implementing the requirements
contained in the regulation will better
facilitate compliance with the AFFH
mandate under the Fair Housing Act.
In response to concerns raised
regarding predatory lending and other
single family and mortgage-related
comments, HUD notes that these issues
can be addressed in several ways in the
existing Assessment Tool. The
segregation section provides for an
analysis of owner-occupied and rental
housing, by location. The contributing
factors that can be considered under this
section include Private Discrimination,
Lending Practices and Access to
Financial Services. Issues raised by
commenters related to landlord tenant
and eviction policies and practices can
likewise be considered, including
through changes that HUD has made to
the Assessment Tool in the final stage,
for instance in the contributing factor on
Private Discrimination.
III. Summary
In issuing this Local Government
Assessment Tool, approved for renewal
under the Paperwork Reduction Act,
HUD has strived to reach the
appropriate balance in having program
participants produce a meaningful
assessment of fair housing that carefully
considers barriers to fair housing choice
and accessing opportunity and how
such barriers can be overcome in
respective jurisdictions and regions
without being unduly burdensome.
HUD has further committed to
addressing program participant burden
by providing data, guidance, and
technical assistance, and such
assistance will occur throughout the
AFH process. While HUD is not
specifically soliciting comment for

another prescribed period, HUD
welcomes feedback from HUD grantees
that use this tool on their experience
with this tool.

Background
The Endangered Species Act of 1973,
as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.), prohibits certain activities with
endangered and threatened species
unless the activities are specifically
authorized by a Federal permit. The
ESA and our implementing regulations
in part 17 of title 50 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) provide for
the issuance of such permits and require
that we invite public comment before
issuing permits for activities involving
endangered species.
A permit granted by us under section
10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA authorizes the
permittee to conduct activities with U.S.
endangered or threatened species for
scientific purposes, enhancement of
propagation or survival, or interstate
commerce (the latter only in the event
that it facilitates scientific purposes or
enhancement of propagation or
survival). Our regulations implementing
section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA for these
permits are found at 50 CFR 17.22 for
endangered wildlife species, 50 CFR
17.32 for threatened wildlife species, 50
CFR 17.62 for endangered plant species,
and 50 CFR 17.72 for threatened plant
species.
