Anti-Discrimination Rules Tighten Public Housing Aid
Washington outlines tougher rules to apply Kennedy anti discrimination order to public housing and urban renewal. Cities must attach perpetual covenants prohibiting discrimination when selling urban renewal land to private developers. Public housing violating anti discrimination clauses can be seized. Privately owned facilities in renewal projects must be open to all residents, with exceptions for city wide or nonessential facilities. The order covers projects after November 20 1962, while pressure may reach older projects through ongoing federal relations.
