HUD's FHEO has notified Minneapolis and opened an investigation into the city's racialized housing plans alleging potential violations of the Fair Housing Act and Title VI.
The official HUD press release dated January 16, 2026 states that the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Office for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) "notified the City of Minneapolis that it has launched an investigation into the city’s comprehensive racialized housing plans, which HUD believes may violate the Fair Housing Act and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964." This language directly matches the claim that FHEO has opened an investigation into Minneapolis’s racialized housing plans for potential violations of the Fair Housing Act and Title VI. A secondary source that republishes the same HUD language corroborates this description of the investigation. The verdict is True because HUD’s own official communication confirms that FHEO has launched such an investigation on the stated grounds of possible violations of the Fair Housing Act and Title VI.
