Fair Housing Testing
Community Legal Aid’s HUD-funded Springfield and Worcester Fair Housing Projects are currently seeking individuals 18 years or older of any gender identity, ability, race, and nationality to serve as investigators. Fair housing investigators help us discover and prevent housing discrimination in Massachusetts.
Fair housing testing is a useful tool to determine whether people looking for housing are experiencing discrimination. Testing allows us to observe the everyday business practices of landlords, management companies, and real estate agents in our communities.
