A homeowners association in a small Denton County town passed a rule to ban renters with housing vouchers, effectively targeting Black residents in the predominantly white neighborhood. Why it matters: The neighborhood makes up most of Providence Village, so when the leases expire, the town will be almost entirely off limits to renters with housing vouchers. Housing advocacy groups have called on the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate whether the HOA's ban violates the federal Fair Housing Act.
