During this very active year of increased testing thanks to HUD distributing lots of money to advocacy groups, large penalty awards, and new legislation affecting fair housing compliance in many jurisdictions, it’s difficult to pause, take stock of the changes and how they inform our operations and create compliant solutions.

This session will allow you to take a deep breath, look at some outrageous fair housing violations (and penalties), and review some of the new laws about falsifying assistive animals' status and not being able to check criminal backgrounds.
