Township of Mount Holly v. Mount Holly Gardens Citizens in Action, Inc., No. 11-1507 (cert.-stage and merits briefs for respondents filed Fall 2012-Fall 2013)

Question Presented: (1) Are disparate-impact claims cognizable under the Fair Housing Act § 804(a)? (2) Should this Court establish a methodology for assessing disparate-impact claims under FHA §804(a) when petitioners make no claim that this case would come out differently under any of the tests employed by courts of appeals and, in any event, Housing and Urban Development regulations will soon resolve any discrepancies?
