ASWAN plausibly alleges that the City of Richmond,
Homeward, and VCU in April 2007 "pressured and encour-
aged Commonwealth Catholic Charities to locate at the Con-
rad Center on Oliver Hill Way a service called ‘Central
Intake’ for homeless people to sign up for and be processed
to obtain overnight shelter provided at local churches by
CARITAS." Joint Appendix at 294, 307, 327. ASWAN
alleges that Central Intake was previously located at "517
West Grace Street in Richmond’s mainstream and in its
downtown." Joint Appendix at 330. This plausible allegation
of a discrete discriminatory act, related to the larger isolation
effort, occurred less than two years before this lawsuit was
filed on February 17, 2009. Therefore, I conclude that the
FHA claims against Homeward, VCU, and the City, as well
as the equal protection and § 1983 claims against the City, are
not time-barred.
