Holds that disparate-impact claims are cognizable under the Fair Housing Act. Sets the textual test applied by the CFPB in its Regulation B rulemaking: “antidiscrimination laws must be construed to encompass disparate-impact claims when their text refers to the consequences of actions and not just to the mindset of actors, and where that interpretation is consistent with statutory purpose.” Slip opinion superseded by bound volume (576 U.S., starting at page 519).
