The United States Supreme Court on June 25, 2015, issued a long-awaited fair housing discrimination ruling. On April 4, 2016, HUD released a guidance letter regarding blanket criminal background checks. This is basically a type of disparate impact that affects those with criminal backgrounds. Under this guidance letter, Paul will examine the changes in policies and procedures of multifamily properties as to how to implement this guidance.
During the webinar, Paul will examine in detail all facets of this ruling and what it means under fair housing guidelines.
This webinar will explore the basics of fair housing, disparate impact, and the new HUD ruling. There are going to be many changes coming because of this new guidance and after this webinar, attendees will understand the implications of all of these rulings and guidance. There will be time allowed for questions at the end of the webinar.
