ABOUT THE EVENT

President Biden issued an exec. order on Jan 20, 2021 directing all federal agencies to include sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression in protections against discrimination based on sex. HUD announced its implementation of the order on Feb 11 with a memo. The Fair Housing Act will now prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. FHEO will now investigate all sex discrimination complaints, including those based on sexual orientation or gender identity, if they meet jurisdictional requirements. If there's reasonable cause, FHEO will refer the case to HUD's Office of General Counsel for a determination of cause.

In this informative webinar we'll assess top practices. Understanding this is crucial for landlords to avoid fair housing violations.

Areas Covered:

Concepts of sexual orientation
The spectrum of sexual orientation
Definitions of terms
Fair housing testing
Projects from states
LGTBQ Case studies
Best practices

Who Should Attend:

Property Managers

Through his consulting company, Property Management Solutions, he provides training and consulting services nationwide to owners, management companies, multi-housing associations, as well as state and federal agencies.

He specializes in fair housing issues and has developed fair housing and outreach programs for governmental agencies as well as conducting seminars which are presented to property management companies, apartment associations and the general public nationwide. Most recently, he has been a consultant to the State of South Dakota. In this assignment he has developed a fair housing awareness program that is one of the first of its kind in the nation. It involves a three pronged approach to fair housing awareness. This approach makes use of an ombudsman concept and has proven to be very effective in dealing with discrimination and landlord/tenant issues.

For over twenty years he was involved in appraisal of residential, multi-family, farm and commercial properties throughout the Midwest. Most recently, he was a consultant for affordable, multi-housing properties in 22 different states. This involved properties in HUD, Rural Development, HOME and Tax Credit programs.

In 2009, he received the Outstanding Educator of the Year award from the South Dakota Multi-Housing Association.

Paul just authored a book which was released in January of 2015. It is titled: “Fair Housing: What Everyone Should Know”. This is a comprehensive book about the fair housing written with a property manager’s perspective and with real world examples. It is a great resource for anyone.
