Discrimination and Fair Housing Training: How to Offer Equal Housing Opportunity

This presentation offers a comprehensive overview of federal and state protected classes. We're fortunate to live in a country and a state where we cannot be denied housing because of our belonging to a protected class. But as rental housing operators, we do have to deny applications.

We review:

  • The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and 1968 as Amended.
  • Protected classes under Massachusetts General Law Chapter 151B.
  • The full list of federal and state protected classes.
  • Prohibited steering.
  • Enforcement actions.
  • What not to put in an ad.
  • And more!

Become confident in your ability to offer equal housing opportunity while still screening for success in rental housing.

 

A diverse group of happy people are smiling with their arms raised so as to look cheery. An old woman in a wheelchair is wearing a dress. A white woman is standing next to a black man. A young boy is next to the man, perhaps the child of the standing woman and the man. All are very happy.
Equal housing opportunity is fun, rewarding and easy once you know how.
