Question presented

  1. Under the Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. § 3617, when a plaintiff claims that a defendant has intimidated or interfered with him “on account of his having aided or encouraged any other person in the exercise or enjoyment” of FHA rights, may a court require that the alleged aid provided is of a certain degree, or will any amount of aid suffice to trigger the protections of the statute?
