In this practical, housing-focused training, service coordinators and human services staff working in and with affordable communities will gain a solid foundation in Fair Housing laws and how to apply them in real-world settings. The session is designed to help staff confidently support residents while reducing legal and operational risk for housing providers.

Participants will learn to:

• identify and understand the seven federally protected classes, and additional protections under state or local law;
• recognize discriminatory practices, including different treatment and disparate impact; 
• navigate reasonable accommodation and modification requests with clarity and confidence; and
• understand Section 504 and its relevance to federally assisted properties.

Using realistic, service-oriented scenarios, we’ll explore common challenges such as: 

• assistance animal verification and boundaries; 
• hoarding behaviors and balancing resident support with property standards; and 
• effective documentation of accommodation requests.

Participants will be provided with a Fair Housing checklist for service interactions, and practical Q and A time to troubleshoot current cases or concerns. 

Support your team in providing equitable, person-centered service while staying compliant with Fair Housing law. This class is a must for professionals who work at the intersection of housing, health, and resident support.

This class is offered at no charge to participants.
