Similarly, in this case, the opening of the Conrad Center is
related to the relocation of services there only insofar as the
location of the Conrad Center has enabled the isolation of
homeless persons from downtown Richmond. As demon-
strated by Lendo, however, this relationship does not mean
that the relocation of a service to the Conrad Cen-
ter—allegedly motivated by isolationist animus—is not a dis-
crete act of discrimination. Indeed, the opening of the Conrad
Center in no sense caused homeless persons to be isolated
from downtown Richmond. Rather, defendants’ alleged acts

that caused services to relocate from downtown to the Conrad
Center are responsible for the alleged isolation. See Lendo,
820 F.2d at 1368 (the denial of tenure did not "inevitably fol-
low the [discriminatory] evaluations so as to be an effect of
them"). Any such discrete acts during the limitations period
are not time-barred. Nat’l Adver. Co., 947 F.2d at 1167.
