1,657 charsC. Stevens next disputes the district court’s ruling in favor of HASB on her claim of segregated housing. In her complaint, Stevens alleges that the defendants and their predecessors located her public housing complex in an area of South Bend that is inhabited primarily by African- American persons. She asserts that the location of the property segregated her and her sons because of race, in violation of Section 3604(b) of the Fair Housing Act. Stevens’ evidence in support of this claim consists solely of her personal observation that the residents of the apartment complex were primarily African-American. It is undisputed that the public housing complex in which Stevens lived was constructed in 1961, and so the site was selected approximately forty-seven years before Stevens brought her claim. The district court found that the claim was untimely and also unsup- ported by relevant evidence. The court also found that the claim failed as a matter of law because actions under Section 3604(b) of the Fair Housing Act must concern access to housing and not post-acquisition claims of discrimination. Stevens contends that her claim is timely because it is based on a continuing viola- tion, and that her own testimony that HASB housing was segregated was sufficient to defeat summary judgment. Section 3604(b) provides that it shall be unlawful to “discriminate against any person in the terms, conditions, or privileges of sale or rental of a dwelling, or in the provision of services or facilities in connection therewith, because of race, color, religion, sex, familial status, or 22 No. 10-2724
