Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

(2) create a procedure for investigating and settling complaints of discriminatory housing practices; and
(3) provide rights and remedies substantially equivalent to those granted under federal law.
