Housing Wire, June 2, 2022, HUD dings Movement Mortgage for alleged fair housing violations
Movement Mortgage will pay $75,000 to resolve allegations of racial discrimination, in violation of the Fair Housing Act, identified by undercover testers from the National Community Reinvestment Coalition.
“NCRC’s testing data showed that Movement Mortgage agents engage and facilitate an inviting application process for prospective White applicants but fail to extend those same services to prospective Black applicants,” the complaint reads. “This behavior results in fewer prospective Black borrowers filing applications?and?further impacts the number of approvals in majority-minority census tracts.”
