Source summary
HUD’s Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity has opened an investigation into EPIC Real Properties, Inc. and Community Capital Partners over their planned development "The Meadow" (also called EPIC City or the East Plano Islamic Center) after a complaint from the Texas Workforce Commission. The complaint alleges the developers marketed the project as an exclusively Muslim community, required lot owners to subsidize a mosque and Islamic educational centers, and used a two-tier lottery that favored certain buyers. HUD Secretary Scott Turner said the department will thoroughly investigate potential religious and national origin discrimination under the Fair Housing Act.

HUD's official press release (HUD No. 26-013) states: “HUD received a complaint from the Texas Workforce Commission detailing a large-scale pattern of religious discriminatory conduct by the developers of The Meadow.” Independent reporting from The Dallas Morning News cites the same HUD statement. Because HUD's public statement explicitly records receipt of a TWC complaint alleging a large‑scale pattern of religious discrimination by The Meadow’s developers, the claim is accurate as phrased.
