Data sharing between housing and education agencies will provide housing agencies with resources to assist them with efforts to decrease segregation and mitigate the adverse health outcomes experienced by people of color. The Fair Housing Act has the potential to fulfill its original integrationist purpose if housing and education agencies combine resources and data to create and implement fair housing plans. The Biden Administration's restored rule to affirmatively further fair housing pursuant to the Fair Housing Act of 1968 which seeks to reduce segregation and increase housing equity. However, it omits most of the processes set forth by the Obama Administration whereby federal agencies provide the proper tools to housing agencies so that they are able to make data-based decisions about housing policies. This article advocates for the sharing of data between housing and education agencies to optimize the positive impact of fair housing not only within housing, but also on the education, employment, and health opportunities for communities of color.
住房和教育机构之间的数据共享将为住房机构提供资源,帮助他们减少隔离,并减轻有色人种所经历的不利健康后果。如果住房和教育机构整合资源和数据,制定和实施公平住房计划,《公平住房法》有可能实现其最初的融合目标。拜登政府恢复了根据 1968 年《公平住房法》肯定进一步推进公平住房的规定,旨在减少隔离和增加住房公平。然而,它忽略了奥巴马政府规定的大部分程序,即联邦机构向住房机构提供适当的工具,以便他们能够根据住房政策做出基于数据的决策。本文主张住房和教育机构之间共享数据,以优化公平住房的积极影响,不仅在住房方面,而且在教育、就业和有色人种社区的健康机会方面。
