An ACLU Lawsuit Ends a City’s Discriminatory Rental Ordinance in Minnesota
The American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota reached a settlement recently with the city of Faribault, which they accused of discriminatory and unconstitutional housing rental ordinances that limited housing for people of color.
The $685,000 settlement also included reforms to fix these discriminatory patterns in housing.
The Faribault City Council voted that as part of the settlement the Rental Licensing Ordinance and Crime-Free Multi-Housing program would be overhauled.
