A development proposal for 41 townhomes in @MtLebanonPA is drawing familiar #NotInMyBackYard responses from community members.

Congratulations to #SELF, #LRRealty, @ctfairhousing and #DaneLaw for a $360,000 #HousingDiscrimination settlement with the Town of Wolcott, #CT!

The Town denied a permit for a group home for adults with mental health disabilities and changed its zoning to ban such housing.

@CityOfBoston implemented Affirmatively Further Fair Housing requirements within its zoning code for proposed residential projects.
