24 C.F.R. § 100.200
§ 100.200 Purpose. (24 CFR Part 100)
Operative Text
The purpose of this subpart is to effectuate sections 6 (a) and (b) and 15 of the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988.
Section 100.200 establishes the overarching purpose of the subpart within 24 CFR Part 100, which is to carry out specific provisions of the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988—namely sections 6(a), 6(b), and 15. Those statutory sections expanded fair housing protections, and this subpart of federal regulations exists as the implementing framework for those expansions. The provision itself does not impose direct obligations but signals the legal authority and intent behind the rules that follow.
Plain English — not legal advice.

Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with the full subpart under 24 CFR Part 100 to understand the scope of protections that Congress directed HUD to enforce.
