with the following four requirements contained in the Housing and Community
Development Act.
Discussed Corresponding
Activity on Page Exhibit #
Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and
financing of dwellings based on:
Color
Religion
Sex
National Origin
The Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, which became effective March 12, 1989,
expands the coverage of Title VIII to:
1. Prohibit discrimination in housing on the basis of:
Disability
Familial Status
The following actions are considered to be discriminatory under the Fair Housing
Law:
Refusing to sell, rent, deal, or negotiate with any person.
Discriminating in terms or conditions for buying or renting.
Advertising that housing is available only to persons of a certain race,
color, religion, sex, national origin, or of a specific family size.
Denying that housing is available for inspection, sale or rent when it
really is available.
"Blockbusting" - persuading owners to sell or rent housing by telling them
that minority groups are moving into the neighborhood.
Denying or making different terms or conditions for home loans by
commercial lenders, such as banks, savings and loans, and insurance
companies.
Denying to anyone the use of or participation in any real estate
services, such as broker organizations, multiple-listing services or other
facilities related to the selling and renting of housing.
Refusing to allow reasonable accommodation to be made for a person
with disabilities.
FAIR HOUSING ACTIVITIES
A Fair Housing Plan will require: an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice
AND a list of actions to correct any impediments found; or, where no impediments are
found, a list of planned activities to maintain the fair housing environment. NOTE: This
is not an activity for the administrator alone; this requires the involvement of the County
Mayor and the City Mayors within that county.
IMPEDIMENTS To Fair Housing Choice are any actions, omissions, or decisions which
restrict housing choices or the availability of housing choices because of race, color,
religion, sex, national origin, familial status, or disability.
FAIR HOUSING CHOICE means the ability of persons of similar income levels to have
available to them the same housing choices regardless of race, color, religion, sex,
national origin, familial status, or disability.
STEP 1. A public meeting should be conducted. Prior to its scheduling, contact the
County Mayor and the City Mayors in that county to decide on the best time
and place for the meeting.
STEP 2. Publish the announcement (C-2) of the meeting in a newspaper with a county
wide circulation. Be sure to include a nondiscrimination statement and the
name of the person to contact for any disability special accommodations that
may be needed. (Place a copy of this newspaper announcement in the file.)
STEP 3. Mail letters of invitation to all interested parties including real estate
agencies, rental management companies, landlords, financial institutions,
insurance companies, public housing authorities, racial minority groups or
individuals, churches, public service agencies, senior citizens organizations
or centers, disabled individuals or organizations, members of all governing
bodies having a voice in the administration or policy decisions in zoning
and/or other housing issues. (Copies of these letters should be placed in the
file.)
STEP 4. The Jurisdiction Background Data forms should be completed prior to the
public meeting. Most of this information can be retrieved from the Internet
address www.factfinder.census.gov. Start (left-hand side of the page) by
clicking on the Fact Sheet, People, Housing or Data Sets (use only SF-1 or
SF-2 100% data) all sites have relative information.
STEP 5. On the day of the public meeting, provide blank copies of the sign-in sheet
(C-3).
STEP 6. Shortly after the public meeting, send a copy of the memorandum (C-4) to
the Tennessee Human Rights Commission requesting information on
complaints filed by anyone from your county. This information should be
included in the Analysis.
STEP 7. Schedule a meeting with the elected officials to discuss the issues expressed
at the public meeting, to identify any impediments to fair housing choices, to
review the activity examples and decide on short term goals (activities to be
completed this year) and long term goals (activities to do over the next five
years) that address the identified impediments or ways to educate the public
about fair housing issues.
STEP 8. When the Analysis of Impediments has been completed, the County Mayor
and all the City Mayors within the county’s jurisdiction should review the final
report and sign it. Each signature represents that person’s commitment to
the implementation of the plan.
STEP 9. Keep the original analysis in the County Fair Housing file, place a copy in
each of the jurisdictional files, and send a copy to Program Management.
STEP 10. Complete a fair housing activity that was described in the short term goals of
the Analysis for this year.
In developing the analysis of impediments, the jurisdiction should consult with those
groups who represent special interests, such as disabled or disability commissions, civil
rights commissions, low to moderate income representative groups , and those who are
active in the housing arena such as fair housing organizations, tenants' rights
organizations, and housing advocacy groups to assure that the needs of all citizens are
addressed in the analysis. Members of the real estate, banking, insurance communities
and landlords should also be included.
The following are suggested topics for discussion to be used to obtain information
needed for the analysis and promotion of constructive dialogue within the task force:
A. What was the source of the data collected, newspaper, other media,
U.S. Census, and if a task force meeting was held, who was present?
B. If any money was spent to obtain the information needed to complete
this analysis, where did it come from?
C. What problems were found?
You can prepare one map, one map with overlays, or several
maps (remember this is to help you in evaluating any problems in
your jurisdiction.) Include all of the following information:
- Location of housing for persons with disabilities (i.e., group
homes, independent living complex, etc.)
- Racial housing patterns
- Housing costs and vacancy rates
- Location of proposed housing, including price range,
subsidized or private
- Location of industrial and commercial development and area
expecting to undergo revitalization
- Location of major employers and mass transportation routes
- Areas of minority displacement
- Central business district
When the Analysis to Impediments (Exhibit C-1) is completed, a copy must be sent to
the Program Management Office.
ACTIONS TO AFFIRMATIVELY FURTHER FAIR HOUSING
The following are actions which might be appropriate in overcoming some identified
impediments to fair housing choice in Block Grant communities. Fair housing actions,
however, are not limited to those on this list.
Section 3 is a provision of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 which
requires that programs of direct financial assistance administrated by HUD provide, to
the greatest extent feasible, opportunities for job training and employment to lower
income residents. Further, to the greatest extent feasible, contracts in connection with
these projects are to be awarded to Section 3 business concerns.
Section 3 does not require the creation of economic opportunities for low and very low
income persons simply for the sake of creating economic opportunities.
Section 3 requirements apply to any Grantee who receives a grant of $200,000 or more
and to contractors whose contract is $100,000 or more. Section 3 requirements are
triggered by the need for hiring new employees or for additional training needed to
upgrade present employees because of this project.
Section 3 Area Resident - Any low income individual residing within the Section 3 area.
Section 3 Area - For the purpose of training and employment, it is the jurisdictional area
of the local government in which the project is located. For the purpose of contracting,
the Section 3 area is the county in which the project is located.
Section 3 recipients (State, unit of local government, or contractor) must include the
Section 3 clause (Exhibit C-10) in all contracts awarded.
The Section 3 regulations established thresholds and goals. These goals are not
statutory as such, but, in the interests of efficient program administration "constitute a
'safe harbor' for compliance with Section 3." The training and employment goals are 30
percent of the aggregate number of new hires for each fiscal year. For Section 3
contracts, each covered contract or activity is to commit to Section 3 business concerns
at least 10 percent of the total dollar amount of all covered contracts for building trades
work arising in connection with the covered activity, and at least 3 percent of the total
dollar amount of all other covered contracts.
All applicable grantees must prepare and keep a Section 3 file. To fulfill this
requirement, the following tasks must be completed:
4. Maintain a list of all Section 3 business concerns that the grantee or the
contractor hired.
5. Maintain a list of all Section 3 employees hired or trained specifically for this
project by the grantee or contractor/subcontractor.
6. Complete form HUD-60002 (Exhibit C-11) and submit with the close-out
package at the end of the project.
You should provide assistance in cases of alleged housing discrimination. You need
not become a prosecutor, but you should assist with the displacee's claims of
discrimination.
The Fair Housing Act provides that any person who believes that he or she has been or
will be subject to a discriminatory housing practice because of race, color, religion, sex,
disability, familiar status, or national origin may file a complaint with the Secretary of
Housing and Urban Development.
The aggrieved person or the Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal
Opportunity in the Department of Housing and Urban Development may file a complaint
no later than one year after an alleged discriminatory housing practice has occurred or
terminated. The complaint may be filed with the help of an authorized representative,
including any agency acting on behalf of an aggrieved person.

GRANTEE EMPLOYMENT
• Race • Religion
• Color • Age
• National Origin • Disability
• Sex
The city/county must make available a copy of any written policies and procedures used
by the grantee to hire, terminate, promote or train individuals. If no formal written hiring
policies are available, the city/county will need to implement a policy utilizing the format
in this manual (Exhibit C-12) and place a copy in the file indicating that the city/county
will not deny employment under any federally assisted program on the basis of race,
color, national origin, disability, etc.
CONSTRUCTION GENERATED EMPLOYMENT
Your CDBG project will probably generate the employment of individuals through
construction of the project. Those responsible for the hiring must be aware of the Equal
Opportunity requirement.
There are three things to keep in mind when meeting this requirement.
SECTION 504
The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended was the first major law to include civil rights
protections for persons with disabilities. Section 504 of Title V of that law requires equal
opportunity for persons with disabilities in Federally assisted programs. Section 504
states that:
Under Section 504, an individual must be provided the opportunity to participate in, or
benefit from, the program that is equal to that provided other citizens. The opportunity
need not to be identical in approach, but rather, must afford a person with a disability an
equal opportunity to obtain the same result. This is commonly referred to as "program
accessibility."
Program accessibility is perhaps the key term to understanding Section 504. Under
Section 504, federal funds recipients must ensure that their programs are accessible to
qualified individuals with disabilities. Basically, this means that when "viewed in their
entirety," programs and activities offered by the recipients must be accessible --- not
every program or service has to be accessible.
The focus of Section 504, for existing facilities, is on programs, not buildings. If it is
possible to ensure accessibility through alternative means, such as providing auxiliary
aids, relocating programs or making home visits, structural changes are not required.
Only when it is absolutely necessary to achieve program accessibility are recipients
required to retrofit existing facilities, particularly since cost of doing so can be
prohibitive.
Recipients must remember, however, that the program accessibility requirement applies
only to existing facilities. New construction and alterations must be fully accessible,
designed in accordance with recognized accessibility standards.
Every organization that receives federal financial assistance from HUD, including
community development agencies and local governments, is called a recipient.
All recipients must meet the specific requirements of the Section 504 regulations,
including having policies and procedures that do not discriminate against and/or make
reasonable accommodations to allow participation of qualified people with disabilities.
All recipients of federal assistance must conduct self-evaluations as part of their initial
Section 504 compliance activities and designate a 504 coordinator and post
conspicuously the designee.
MINORITY/FEMALE SOLICITATION
Race
Color
Religion
National Origin
Sex
Age
Disability
Recipients of federal funds must take affirmative steps to assure minority and female -
owned businesses are afforded opportunities to bid on service, material and
construction contracts. To meet the requirement, grantees must take steps to inform
minority and female-owned businesses about federally funded contracts.
A contract and subcontract activity report form must be filled out each
time a contract or subcontract is awarded. These forms must be sent to
the State as soon as contracts have been awarded (Exhibit C-14).

SECTION 10. Enforcement
(a) Any person who claims to have been injured by a discriminatory housing practice or who believes

"person aggrieved") may file a complaint with the (Mayor, County Mayor or Tennessee Human Rights
Commission) . Complaints shall be in writing and shall contain such information and be in such form as
the (Mayor, County Mayor or Tennessee Human Rights Commission) requires. Upon receipt of such
a complaint, the (Mayor, County Mayor or Tennessee Human Rights Commission) shall furnish a
copy of the same to the person or persons who allegedly committed or is about to commit the alleged
discriminatory housing practice. Within thirty days after receiving a complaint, or within thirty days after
the expiration of any period of reference under subsection (c), the (Mayor, County Mayor or Tennessee
Human Rights Commission) shall investigate the complaint and give notice in writing to the person
aggrieved whether he intends to resolve it. If the (Mayor, County Mayor or Tennessee Human Rights
Commission) decides to resolve the complaints, he shall proceed to try to eliminate or correct the
alleged discriminatory housing practice by information methods of conference, conciliation, and
persuasion. Nothing said or done in the course of such informal endeavors may be made public or used
as evidence in a subsequent proceeding under this ordinance without the written consent of the persons
concerned. Any employee of the (Mayor, County Mayor or Tennessee Human Rights Commission)
who shall make public any information in violation of this provision shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more
than one year.
(b) A complaint under subsection (a) shall be filed within one hundred and eighty days after the alleged
discriminatory housing practice occurred. Complaints shall be in writing and shall state the facts upon
which the allegations of a discriminatory housing practice are based. Complaints may be reasonably and
fairly amended at any time. A respondent may file an answer to the complaint against him and with the
leave of the (Mayor, County Mayor or Tennessee Human Rights Commission) , which shall be granted
whenever it would be reasonable and fair to do so, may amend his answer at any time. Both complaints
and answers shall be verified.
(c) If within thirty days after a complaint is filed with the (Mayor, County Mayor or Tennessee Human
Rights Commission) , the (Mayor, County Mayor or Tennessee Human Rights Commission) has
been unable to obtain voluntary compliance with this ordinance, the person aggrieved may, within thirty
days thereafter, file a complaint with the Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban
Development. The (Mayor, County Mayor or Tennessee Human Rights Commission) will assist in
this filing.
(d) If the (Mayor, County Mayor or Tennessee Human Rights Commission) has been unable to
obtain voluntary compliance within thirty days of the complaint, the person aggrieved may, within thirty
days hereafter commence a civil action in any appropriate court, against the respondent named in the
complaint, to enforce the rights granted or protected by this ordinance, insofar as such rights relate to the
subject of the complaint. If the court finds that a discriminatory housing practice has occurred or is about
to occur, the court may enjoin the respondent from engaging in such practice or order such affirmative
action as may be appropriate.
(e) In any proceeding brought pursuant to this section, the burden of proof shall be on the complaint.
(f) Whenever an action filed by an individual shall come to trial, the (Mayor, County Mayor or
Tennessee Human Rights Commission) shall immediately terminate all efforts to obtain voluntary
compliance.
(a) In conducting an investigation, the (Mayor, County Mayor or Tennessee Human Rights
Commission) shall have access at all reasonable times to premises, records, documents, individuals,
and other evidence or possible sources of evidence and may examine, record, and copy such materials
and take and record the testimony or statements of such persons as are reasonably necessary for the
furtherance of the investigation: Provided, however, that the (Mayor, County Mayor or Tennessee
Human Rights Commission) first complies with the provisions of the Fourth Amendment relating to
unreasonable searches and seizures. The (Mayor, County Mayor or Tennessee Human Rights
Commission) may issue subpoenas to compel his access to or the production of such materials, or the
appearance of such persons, and may issue interrogatories to a respondent, to the same extent and
subject to the same limitations as would apply if the subpoenas or interrogatories were issued or served
in aid of a civil action in the United States district court of the district in which the investigation is taking
place. The (Mayor, County Mayor or Tennessee Human Rights Commission) may administer oaths.
(b) Upon written application to the (Mayor, County Mayor or Tennessee Human Rights Commission) ,
a respondent shall be entitled to the issuance of a reasonable number of subpoenas by and in the name
of the (Mayor, County Mayor or Tennessee Human Rights Commission) to the same extent and
subject to the same limitations as subpoenas issued by the (Mayor, County Mayor or Tennessee
Human Rights Commission) himself. Subpoenas issued at the request of a respondent shall show on
their face the name and address of such respondent and shall state that they were issued at his request.
(c) Witnesses summoned by subpoena of the (Mayor, County Mayor or Tennessee Human Rights
Commission) shall be entitled to the same witness and mileage fees as are witnesses in proceedings in
United States district courts. Fees payable to the witness summoned by a subpoena issued at the
request of a respondent shall be paid by him.
(d) Within five days after service of a subpoena upon any person, such person may petition the (Mayor,
County Mayor or Tennessee Human Rights Commission) to revoke or modify the subpoena. The
(Mayor, County Mayor or Tennessee Human Rights Commission) shall grant the petition if he finds
that the subpoena requires appearance or attendance at an unreasonable time or place, that it requires
production of evidence which does not relate to any matter under investigation, that it does not describe
with sufficient particularity the evidence to be produced, that compliance would be unduly onerous, or for
other good reason.
(e) In case of contumacy or refusal to obey a subpoena, the (Mayor, County Mayor or Tennessee
Human Rights Commission) or other person at whose request it was issued may petition for its
enforcement in the Municipal or State court for the district in which the person to whom the subpoena was
addressed resides, was served, or transacts business.
(f) Any person who willfully fails or neglects to attend and testify or to answer any lawful inquiry or to
produce records, documents, or other evidence, if in his power to do so, in obedience to the subpoena or
lawful order of the (Mayor, County Mayor or Tennessee Human Rights Commission) shall be fined
not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than one year, or both. Any person who, with intent
thereby to mislead the (Mayor, County Mayor or Tennessee Human Rights Commission) , shall make
or cause to be made any false entry or statement of fact in any report, account, record, or other document
submitted to the (Mayor, County Mayor or Tennessee Human Rights Commission) pursuant to his
subpoena or other order, or shall willfully neglect or fail to make or cause to be made full, true, and
correct entries in such reports, accounts, records, or other documents, or shall willfully mutilate, alter, or
by any other means falsify any documentary evidence, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned
not more than one year, or both.
(g) The (City, County or Tennessee Human Right Commission) Attorney shall conduct all litigation in
which the (Mayor, County Mayor or Tennessee Human Rights Commission) participates as a party or
as amicus pursuant to this ordinance.
(a) The rights granted by sections 3, 4, 5, and 6 may be enforced by civil actions in State or local courts

Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, as amended, 12 U.S.C. 1701u., mandates that the Department ensure that employment
and other economic opportunities generated by its housing and community development assistance programs are directed toward low- and very low-
income persons, particularly those who are recipients of government assistance for housing. The regulations are found at 24 CFR Part 135. The
information will be used by the Department to monitor program recipients’ compliance with Section 3, to assess the results of the Department’s efforts
to meet the statutory objectives of Section 3, to prepare reports to Congress, and by recipients as a self-monitoring tool. The data is entered into a data
base and will be analyzed and distributed. The collection of information involves recipients receiving Federal financial assistance for housing and
community development programs covered by Section 3. The information will be collected annually to assist HUD in meeting its reporting requirements
under Section 808(e)(6) of the Fair Housing Act and Section 916 of the HCDA of 1992. An assurance of confidentiality is not applicable to this form.
The Privacy Act of 1974 and OMB Circular A-108 are not applicable. The reporting requirements do not contain sensitive questions. Data is cumulative;
