The question of whether "disparate impact" is a legal and valid theory of discrimination under the Fair housing Act is finally answered by our highest Court: The Supreme Court in, TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS ET AL. v. INCLUSIVE COMMUNITIES PROJECT, INC., ET AL., affirmed that the Fair Housing Act of 1968 as Amended in 1988, does allow not only claims for intentional discrimination but also for claims that cover practices that have a discriminatory effect even if not motivated by an intent to discriminate. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/06/25/us-usa-court-discrimination-idUSKBN0P51UO20150625
