The Decree Requires The Defendants To Pay $252,500 In Compensatory Damages
In March 2005, the court approved the consent decree in United States v. City of Blakely Housing Authority (M.D. Ga.). The decree requires the defendants to pay $252,500 in compensatory damages, train employees on fair housing law, and establish new admissions policies and procedures to ensure that applicants are treated in a non-discriminatory manner. Additionally, the executive director of the Blakely Housing Authority must resign under the terms of the decree. In this case, the United States alleged that defendants violated the Fair Housing Act by, among other things, reserving one of their apartment complexes for whites and steering African-Americans to other complexes.
