Margery Austin Turner:
Well, none of this work is easy, but I think first steps are, as I said, reactivate this regulation that's already in place. A tremendous amount of excellent work was done in the Obama administration to craft this regulation. It's called Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing. Turn it back on. Get that started again right away.
In addition, HUD has the responsibility to enforce the federal Fair Housing Act, which prohibit all kinds of discrimination in the housing market and sales, rentals, lending, appraisals. And that law can be more vigorously enforced, more proactively enforced, really digging into the forms, the subtle forms of discrimination that continue to operate in the housing market today.
So while neither of those things is easy, both can be done right away without new rulemaking or new legislation.
