The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has launched an investigation into the city of Boston over alleged housing discrimination.

HUD alleged in a Thursday letter sent to Democratic Boston Mayor Michelle Wu that the city is aiming to “implement discriminatory housing policies in violation of the Fair Housing Act.” The letter also claimed that Boston “has been very public about its intention to discriminate on the basis of race, while essentially claiming that social justice and racial equity concerns purify its intentions.”

“We believe the City of Boston has engaged in a social engineering project that intentionally advances discriminatory housing policies driven by an ideological commitment to DEI rather than merit or need,” HUD Secretary Scott Turner said in a Thursday statement. “HUD is committed to protecting every American’s civil rights and will thoroughly investigate the City’s stated goal of ‘integrating racial equity into every layer of city government.’”

HUD’s letter also alleges that Boston city officials have “brazenly endorsed, outlined, and implemented a city-wide system for allocating scarce housing resources based on race, color and/or national origin.”
