The next question is whether the District’s Security
Deposit Policy serves that interest in a significant way. It is
the District’s burden to establish that the challenged portions
of the policy, i.e., those “practices causing the disparate
impact,” significantly serve its business interest. See Ojo,
600 F.3d at 1203; Hardie, 876 F.3d at 320. Here, that
includes the decision to apply the policy only to public
housing customers and the decision to increase the deposit
to $180, rather than some other dollar figure. We conclude
there is no genuine issue of material fact as to whether the
District established that both aspects of the Security Deposit
Policy serve in a significant way its valid business interests.
