A leading Jewish housing association is being taken to
court over its policy of providing homes only for Orthodox Jews, with its chief
executive vowing to fight the case “tooth and nail”. The judicial review case,
which will be heard by the High Court, has been brought by two non-Jewish
families against the Agudas Israel Housing Association (AIHA) and Hackney
Council. The case challenges the council’s decision not to allocate housing in
AIHA properties to the claimants, and alleges Hackney’s arrangements are
discriminatory in allowing AIHA only to allocate housing to members of the
Orthodox Jewish community. Read more on the Jewish Chronicle website.
