Description

  • Illinois Department of Human Rights (IDHR) Director Rocco Claps today hailed an announcement by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) of enforcement action in a case in involving a lesbian couple which was denied a mortgage. HUD reached an agreement with Bank of America (BOA) in which the lender agreed to pay $7,500 and to remind its employees that they are prohibited from discriminating against FHA-loan applicants on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity or marital status.
