    UNDERMINING another Obama-era initiative, the Trump administration plans to delay enforcement of a federal housing rule that requires communities to address patterns of racial residential segregation.

    The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), in a notice published last Friday in the Federal Register, said that it will suspend until 2020 the requirement that communities analyse their housing segregation and submit plans to reverse it, as a condition of receiving billions of federal dollars in block grants and housing aid.
