I kinda read the letter the same way. It almost seems to me that the government wants to lose this case. Correct!!
Besides Collins case , there are many other litigations in relating to housing and biden administration is willing to settle to make everything right.
Read this "First 100 Days Priorities"
HUD
• Work to resolve outstanding litigation brought by civil rights groups challenging the
2020 Disparate Impact rule (in conjunction with DOJ).
• Withdraw the 2020 proposed changes to it’s the Equal Access Rule and reimplement the
2016 Equal Access Rule that protects LGBTQ people from discrimination in HUD-assisted
housing and services.
• Withdraw the Mixed-Status Family Rule that would result in the displacement of 55,000
American children as well as increase housing instability and homelessness.
• Immediately hire highly qualified enforcement staff within HUD’s Office of Fair Housing
and Equal Opportunity to fill all vacant career positions and propose the expansion of
those staff to ensure at least 825 full time equivalent personnel and provide regular
training and capacity-building for investigative staff for the next budget cycle.
• Clarify, in regulation or guidance, HUD’s legal position stating that there is third-party
liability as it pertains to harassment or Quid Pro Quo cases brought under the Fair
Housing Act.
DOJ
• Resume resolving settlements in the form of court-ordered Consent Decrees as was
done previously, rather than through private settlement agreements as was the practice
under the Trump administration.
• Work to identify and address systemic discrimination in housing and lending that involve
other areas of abuse and discrimination facing people of color and other protected
classes, including, for example, cases in which police authorities work to intimidate or
target protected classes in public and private housing.
• Work to resolve outstanding litigation brought by civil rights groups challenging the
2020 Disparate Impact rule (in conjunction with HUD).
