There is much information about 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. Join this information-packed webinar where HUD expert Paul Flogstad will examine the basics of discrimination and the history starting with the disparate impact rulings and what the correct process is as of today. Paul will discuss HUD’s memos and see what they mean for us today. Since nearly one-third of the population has a criminal record of some sort, we need to understand their rights of the accused and the rights of a property owner.

Paul will also discuss what HUD’s rulings have to do with “blanket prohibitions” on such topics as no felonies allowed at this property. He'll also dissect the best practices on what to do correctly including the “individualized assessment” that is now required. In addition, Paul will be discussing the policy on LEP ( Limited English Proficiency) required as per HUD’s direction during the webinar.
