- Award funds will be used to provide fair housing enforcement services and raise awareness of fair housing protections throughout the state of nevada, which has no fhap agency to enforce fair housing laws. Expanded housing discrimination testing activities, enforcement and resolution of fair housing complaints, and increased compliance with fair housing laws will increase access to housing for all residents of nevada.
- Activities
- 1) complaint intake and referral of jurisdictional claims to HUD; 2) investigations-including site/phone testing and development of protocols to include race/national origin testing by phone; 3) recruitment and training of testers; 4) assistance with reasonable accommodation and reasonable modification requests; 5) tracking of new multifamily developments throughout the state; 6) educational seminars for housing providers to proactively address lack of knowledge resulting in illegal housing discrimination; 7) inservice trainings for social service and advocacy agencies to increase recognition and reporting of housing discrimination; 8) accredited trainings for attorneys, architects, developers, and advocates to ensure compliance and enforcement of with fair housing law and FHA design requirements; and 9) print ADS in local newspapers throughout the state, raising awareness of fair housing rights and enforcement resources.
- Expected outcomes
- Outcomes will include completion of a proposed number of site and phone tests, some resulting in complaints that will be referred to HUD and tracked through the administrative process; resolution of reasonable accommodation and modification requests that might otherwise result in complaints; proactive goals to educate housing providers about their obligations under fair housing laws, increasing compliance and expanding housing opportunities; providing advocates with resources to ensure consumers are housed; educating architects and housing developers to ensure accessibility in new multifamily housing; and providing attorneys with information and skills to practice fair housing law.
- Intended beneficiaries
- The proposed project is a full-service project that provides fair housing enforcement services to all groups protected by fair housing laws. Protocols to expand phone testing based on race and national origin will provide increased protections for those protected groups throughout the state. The use of in-person and remote meetings/trainings provides access to all areas of the state, including underserved communities and marginalized communities. In the end, compliance with fair housing laws, and increased access to housing, creates benefit for the entire state.
