In June, the National Fair Housing Alliance and co-plaintiffs filed this lawsuit to make sure that discriminatory practices come to an end and that perpetrators are held responsible for unjust policies and practices. Lisa Rice, President and CEO of NFHA claims that the lender unfairly exposed minority communities to more crime, poor quality of life and economic harm by failing to maintain and market its foreclosed homes in predominately black and Latino neighborhoods. The com...plaint asserts that bank-owned homes in communities of color are more likely sites to have overgrown grass, unsecured doors, and attract health and safety problems compared to better maintained homes located in predominantly white communities.

It's important to keep informed about the raising rents in the country. For some it's the difference between buying medicine or paying rent.
