The Strategic and Racial Equity Action Plan and CPED documents contain language aligning racial equity goals with department plans and budgets and committing to leverage rental licensing to prioritize rental housing for Black, Indigenous, People of Color and Immigrant communities.

Source summary
HUD’s Office for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity has notified the City of Minneapolis that it will investigate the city’s housing plans for possible violations of the Fair Housing Act and Title VI. HUD officials, including Secretary Scott Turner and Assistant Secretary Craig Trainor, accused Minneapolis and Minnesota leaders of prioritizing housing by race and national origin and cited parts of the Minneapolis 2040 plan and the city’s Strategic and Racial Equity Action Plan as examples. HUD provided a link to the full notification letter and said it will thoroughly investigate the alleged discrimination.
Latest fact check

I was unable to reliably access and parse the key primary documents from the City of Minneapolis (the full Strategic and Racial Equity Action Plan guide and related LIMS PDFs) that would definitively confirm or refute the specific wording about CPED “leveraging its rental licensing authority” to prioritize rental housing for “Black, Indigenous, People of Color and Immigrant communities.”

Because of repeated technical timeouts when loading these PDFs, I cannot complete a conclusive fact-check at this time and must defer a final verdict until those documents can be retrieved and searched directly.
