Justice Manual § 4-6.350
Area 5—Housing & Community Development
This area includes all equitable and housing-related cases filed against HUD, FEMA, USDA, VA, and other government agencies. Much of the HUD litigation involves class actions by residents of, and applicants for, federally assisted public housing who contend that HUD has funded racially discriminatory public housing owned and operated by local public housing authorities, and/or that HUD has permitted the local public housing authorities to provide HUD-financed rental housing vouchers on a racially discriminatory basis. Other cases involve challenges to HUD’s reverse mortgage insurance program and other HUD or HUD-funded programs. The USDA litigation focuses on the farm credit operations of the Farm Services Agency and its predecessor, the Farmers Home Administration. The VA litigation involves VA mortgages, and the FEMA litigation concerns disaster assistance and flood insurance.
