The Fair Housing Center of Central Indiana this month filed the federal lawsuit against Shiloh Estates and Colorado-based owner FR Community. The lawsuit alleges that since 2011, the management at Shiloh Estates discriminated against African-Americans, Latinos, families with children and people with disabilities.
The Indiana Civil Rights Commission ruled earlier this year it did not find reasonable cause for a possible violation of nondiscrimination laws.
Fair Housing Center of Central Indiana Executive Director Amy Nelson told The Indianapolis Star that the organization believes the state's decision was "made in error."
