Federal Fair Housing Lawyers & Affordable Housing Law
Coan & Lyons represents housing providers and managers in a variety of multi-family housing matters throughout the United States, including the following:
* Administrative Law
Housing property owners, managers, and their agents face a myriad of responsibilities. Providers and managers must comply with a diverse array of federal regulations, such as laws relating to equal access to housing. The attorneys at Coan & Lyons assist housing providers and managers in complying with these regulations, and advocate on behalf of clients in administrative proceedings.
* Legislative Law
Coan & Lyons has considerable experience interacting with different federal agencies, including the Federal Housing Administration and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Our understanding of the organizational and procedural operations of these agencies allows our attorneys to draft and initiate important housing legislation that focus on the issues and concerns of housing property owners and managers.
* Fair Housing
Federal laws, such as Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 and 1988, otherwise known as the Fair Housing Act, prohibit discrimination in housing-related transactions based on race, religion, sex, familial status, and disability. The lawyers at Coan & Lyons possess significant expertise in the complex and specialized area of fair housing law. We routinely counsel clients regarding the Fair Housing Act and aggressively defend clients accused of violations of the Act.
