New article discussing the legal strategy behind the whites only "Return To The Land" (RTTL) housing community going up outside Ravenden, Arkansas. Included a quick overview of past attempts at similar projects:

RTTL has described itself as a “private membership association (PMA) for individuals and families with traditional views and European ancestry.” Its leaders claim they are not in the business of selling land and therefore do not need to follow laws intended to stop racial segregation in housing. RTTL’s legal theory has yet to be tested in court; however, the Arkansas attorney general’s office said it is reviewing the matter. Other experts have said this is a clear violation of the law. “Federal and state law, including the Fair Housing Act, prohibit housing discrimination based on race, period,” ReNika Moore, director of the racial justice program at the American Civil Liberties Union, told The New York Times. “Repackaging residential segregation as a ‘private club’ is still a textbook violation of federal law.”

“Local laws prohibiting landlords from discriminating against tenants who receive public assistance are unenforceable under legislation signed Monday by Gov. Mike Kehoe. 

The legislation takes aim at ordinances passed in several Missouri cities to protect tenants from discrimination based on the source of their income — especially tenants who use federal housing choice vouchers, known as Section 8 vouchers, to pay rent.”
