Mayor Sylvester Turner spoke optimistically Monday about city efforts to resolve a federal finding that Houston housing policies violate the Civil Rights Act, saying U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson told him last month he “is very pleased with the direction in which we are going.” HUD has not officially responded to Turner’s request for the agency to withdraw its January letter faulting Houston for perpetuating housing segregation. Turner, however, characterized his half-hour meeting with Carson two weeks ago as “positive and productive.” HUD concluded the week before President Donald Trump took office that Turner’s rejection of a subsidized housing proposal near the Galleria was discriminatory, adding that Houston’s process for reviewing applications for a key form of low-income housing maintains segregation.
