  President Joe Biden has taken the first step toward reinstating a fair housing rule that was scrapped by the Trump administration last year. In an executive order signed Tuesday, Biden called on the secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to study the effects of repealing the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule. (Biden has tapped Ohio Rep. Marcia Fudge to be HUD secretary; her confirmation hearing will be held on Friday.) The rule required local governments that receive federal funds to identify discriminatory housing policies and map out plans to combat them. The Trump administration repealed the 2015 rule this past summer, replacing it with a measure that allows localities to self-certify that they are abiding by fair housing laws. At the time, Trump praised the move as a win for the suburbs and for local governments, as they would no longer be saddled with a “burdensome and costly” mandate that opened the door to low-income housing.
