Description
- Purpose
- The purpose of this project is to reduce the instances of housing discrimination against members of the protected classes in the state of delaware through increased enforcement efforts. All services and activities under this project will be available to the class members protected under the federal, state and local fair housing acts. All activities, facilities and materials funded by this program will be fully accessible to persons with disabilities.
- Activities
- Activities to be performed: to further HUD's goals, the proposed project will continue activities conducted under previous PEI grants, including continued action on systemic complaints filed. The project will emphasize the investigation of systemic fair housing violations through testing and individual complaint investigation. Clasi will also collaborate with other housing advocates in the state to implement recommendations in the analysis of impediments to fair housing choice in delaware. Clasi will conduct a total of 70 paired tests and 8 accessibility tests under this project each year. Clasi will measure effectiveness of testing by meeting or exceeding these goals each year: rental tests: 60; sales tests: 10; accessibility tests: 8. In addition to tests following a complaint of unlawful discrimination, clasi will conduct rental and sales tests in neighborhoods listed as "desirable" in a local publication. Clasi will also investigate the documentation required to rent a manufactured home where that documentation may exclude immigrants on the basis of national origin.
- Expected outcomes
- The project will intake, process and investigate at least 50 complaints of discrimination in housing-related activities including rentals, sales, lending and insurance each year. At least 30 complainants will obtain affirmative relief. After thorough investigation, clasi will file housing discrimination complaints with HUD and/or the delaware division of human relations for any meritorious claims. Clasi projects IT will identify a minimum of 12 such claims each year as a consequence of the aforementioned outreach, intake and investigation efforts. Clasi will assist at least 20 complainants in requesting reasonable accommodation or modification. At least 13 requests for reasonable accommodations or modifications will be granted. As outreach for the project, clasi will conduct a minimum of 6 fair housing presentations reaching 90 people per year in the community. The presentations will be directed to hispanics, non-english speaking immigrants, people with disabilities, female victims of domestic violence, housing providers and realtors.
