CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS
Section 905(a) of Pub. L. 102-550 provided that: "The Congress
finds that -
"(1) in the past half decade, there have been major legislative
and administrative changes in Federal fair housing and fair
lending laws and substantial improvements in the Nation's
understanding of discrimination in the housing markets;
"(2) in response to evidence of continuing housing
discrimination, the Congress passed the Fair Housing Act
Amendments of 1988 [probably should be the Fair Housing
Amendments Act of 1988, Pub. L. 100-430, see Short Title of 1988
Amendment note set out under section 3601 of this title], to
provide for more effective enforcement of fair housing rights
through judicial and administrative avenues and to expand the
number of protected classes covered under Federal fair housing
laws;
"(3) in the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and
Enforcement Act of 1989 [Pub. L. 101-73, see Short Title of 1989
Amendment note set out under 12 U.S.C. 1811], the Congress
expanded the disclosure provisions under the Home Mortgage
Disclosure Act [probably should be the Home Mortgage Disclosure
Act of 1975; 12 U.S.C. 2801 et seq.] to provide increased
information on the mortgage lending patterns of financial
institutions;
"(4) in the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 [42 U.S.C.
12101 et seq.], the Congress provided a clear and comprehensive
national mandate for the elimination of discrimination against
individuals with disabilities;
"(5) in 1991, data collected under the Home Mortgage Disclosure
Act disclosed evidence of pervasive discrimination in the
Nation's mortgage lending markets;
"(6) the Housing Discrimination Survey, released by the
Department of Housing and Urban Development in 1991, found that
Hispanic and African-American homeseekers experience some form of
discrimination in at least half of their encounters with sales
and rental agents;
"(7) the Fair Housing Initiatives Program should be revised and
expanded to reflect the significant changes in the fair housing
and fair lending area that have taken place since the Program's
initial authorization in the Housing and Community Development
Act of 1987 [Pub. L. 100-242, see Short Title of 1988 Amendment
note under section 5301 of this title];
"(8) continuing educational efforts by the real estate industry
are a useful way to increase understanding by the public of their
fair housing rights and responsibilities; and
"(9) the proven efficacy of private nonprofit fair housing
enforcement organizations and community-based efforts makes
support for these organizations a necessary component of the fair
housing enforcement system."
