More than 10 years after the Anti-Discrimination Center sued Westchester County over allegations that it lied about its fair housing efforts to obtain federal funds, the civil rights group appears to be pessimistic about ongoing litigation in its housing efforts.
The back-and-forth between Westchester and the Department of Housing and Urban Development over an analysis of impediments to fair housing came to a conclusion last week, when HUD, shifting the position it held during the Obama administration, declared in a July 14 letter to Deputy County Executive Kevin Plunkett that the analysis did not find exclusionary zoning in the county, and was acceptable to the agency.
