If a complainant needs immediate help to stop a serious problem that is being caused by a Fair Housing Act violation, HUD may authorize the Attorney General to go to court to seek temporary or preliminary relief, pending the outcome of the complaint. This is known as:

• A. Quick action
• B. Emergency relief
• C. Interim relief
• D. Temporary relief

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is the ability to get expeditious court relief to stop a serious Fair Housing Act violation while the complaint is pending. When there’s an immediate harm, HUD can have the Attorney General go to court to obtain relief quickly to halt the discriminatory conduct during the investigation or proceedings. That urgency is captured by labeling it “quick action,” which emphasizes fast, proactive intervention to prevent ongoing harm. Other terms describe the type or duration of relief (emergency, interim, temporary), but they don’t automatically convey the speed and promptness intended in this scenario. The key point is the need for fast, protective action while the case is being resolved, hence quick action.
