AG Mayes joined a coalition of attorneys general filing a lawsuit challenging unlawful actions by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), including threats to withhold funding from state and local fair housing enforcement agencies for abiding by state laws and to impose illegal conditions on HUD funding. These actions threaten to weaken America’s fair housing enforcement system and undermine states’ ability to ensure equal access to housing. If unchallenged, discrimination in housing is almost certain to increase.

"Arizona’s fair housing laws exist because our legislature passed them, and they exist for good reason. Housing discrimination is real, it harms real people, and these laws are how we hold bad actors accountable. The federal government cannot hold critical funding hostage to force states to abandon those protections, and we won’t let it." – AG Mayes​
