Fair housing testing is a core component of fair housing; it is an investigative tool used to gather evidence of any violations of the Fair Housing Act or other civil rights laws.
Fair housing testing efforts may focus on specific areas of testing. Test coordinators working on these efforts require specialized training to design and coordinate high quality testing programs. Funding provided through this NOFO supports test coordinator training courses in complex testing in the context of real estate sales, mortgage lending, homeowners’ insurance, and in general/basic other testing for violations of Fair Housing Act or substantially equivalent State and local housing laws.
TCT is one of several components under the Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP), which provides funding to support enforcement, education and outreach activities to prevent or eliminate discriminatory housing practices and to inform individuals of their rights and responsibilities under fair housing laws.
