"We will be able to decide about the reasonable accommodations necessary to facilitate a decision when confronted with a criminal background."

This is a ‘Hot topic” and it must be handled correctly. We will learn what to do when faced with a decision based on prior criminal conduct and how it affects our potential applicant as well as our existing multi-family community.

There is much information about the criminal background policies and how they impact a property manager or owner. It is imperative to do things correctly to avoid a fair housing complaint.

In this program, you’ll learn how to:

• We will examine the basics of the discrimination and the history starting with the disparate impact rulings and what the correct process is as of today
• We will examine HUD’s memos and see what they mean for us today. Since nearly one third of the population have a criminal record of some sort, we need to understand their rights of the accused and the rights of a property owner.

Who Should Attend:

• Property Owners
• Property Managers
• Housing Authority Staff
• Compliance Staff
