Salem: Fair Housing - Domestic Violence & Disparate Impact
Multifamily NW Welcomes Mel Keller, FHCO
Event Details
Join us as Mel covers how fair housing laws in our industry are particularly crucial when it comes to issues like domestic violence and disparate impact. Domestic violence survivors, for example, may face discrimination or difficulties in securing housing due to their past experiences. Disparate impact, which refers to policies or practices that may appear neutral but have a disproportionately negative effect on a particular group, can also be a concern in this context. It's important for property managers and landlords to be aware of these issues and ensure that their policies and practices comply with fair housing regulations to avoid discrimination and promote equal access to housing.
