HUD HUD Charges Erie Insurance Group with Race Discrimination: "The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced today that it has charged Erie Insurance Group and five agencies licensed to sell Erie insurance products with violating the Fair Housing Act by providing inferior insurance products to homeowners in African-American neighborhoods than to homeowners in white neighborhoods with comparable homes. Erie Insurance Group serves eleven states and the District of Columbia. HUD's investigation found that Erie's agents did not provide African-American neighborhoods in Syracuse, N.Y., with the same level of insurance coverage they provided for similar homes in predominantly-white neighborhoods in Liverpool, N.Y.
