It is illegal to discriminate in the provision of or in the availability of financial assistance because of the consideration of:
Trends, characteristics, or conditions in the neighborhood or geographic area surrounding a housing accommodation, unless the financial institution can demonstrate in the particular case that such consideration is required to avoid an unsafe and unsound business practice.
