An investigation will be considered to have commenced when preliminary calls and inquiries have been made; acknowledgement letters have been sent to complainant, respondent, and other relevant parties; an investigative plan has been prepared or formulated; and a fact finding conference has been held on-site; and telephone interviews with the parties and witnesses have been initiated. Closing documents submitted for cases closed without the completion of an investigative report must include a summary of the investigative activity for which the agency is seeking reimbursement. � � i , APPENDIX B � CRITERIA FOR PROCESSING This document is an attachment to the Cooperative Agreements between HUD and State or local agencies participating in the Fair Housing Assistance Program (FHAP) . These criteria for processing establish uniform standards for acceptable processing of fair housing complaints cognizable under the Federal Fair Housing Act for which a State or local agency may receive credit for funding support under FHAP. The criteria establishes the minimum actions which must be taken and identifies the documentation which must be submitted to HUD. The criteria are designed to assure the uniform, timely, and quality processing of fair housing complaints. I. INVESTIGATION A. The Complaint Intake 1 . A complaint may be filed by any person who believes that he or she has been, or will be, subject to a discriminatory housing practice covered by the Federal Fair Housing Act and by a State or local agency's fair housing law. � � 2 . The complaint must be filed within the prescribed statutory timeframes governing the filing of complaints under Federal and State/local laws. 3. The complaint must be in writing and signed by the .- person filing the complaint. The complaint shall be a_ffirmed, attested to and/or notarized as prescribed by relevant State or local law. 4 . If a complaint is received and includes the following information, it is considewred filed: � (a) The name and address of the aggrieved person; • (b) The name and address of the respondent; (c) A description and the address of the dwelling which is involved, if appropriate; and (d) A concise statement of the facts, including pertinent dates, constituting the alleged discriminatory housing practice. � ! � 2 5. The complaint may be filed with the assistance of an authorized representative of the person filing the complaint. 6. The State or local agency is encouraged to provide information to HUD regarding allegations which the agency receives involving a practice which is not covered by the State or local law, but is covered by the Federal Fair Housing Act. B. Dual-filed Complaints � 1. A dual-filed complaint is one that has been docketed by both HUD and the agency. 2. Complaints filed first with a State or local agency, and those received by HUD and subsequently referred to a substantially equivalent or interim referral agency, are considered dual-filed with the agency under its own law and with HUD under the Federal Fair Housing Act. . 3. In order to preserve the statutory period for � filing complaints, a complainant may provide information to be contained in a complaint by telephone, provided the State or local agency, or HUD as appropriate, reduces the information to writing which is subsequently signed, affirmed, = attested to, or notarized by the complainant, as prescribed by the State or local law. 4. Where additional information is required for the purpose of filing a complaint, the agency will advise the complainant of any additional information needed and provide appropriate assistance in order to perfect the complaint filed. 5. Complaints received by the agency and not dual- filed within 30 days of receipt by the agency will not be eligible for payment under the FHAP. C. Amendment of Complaints Complainants may reasonably and fairly amend the complaint at any time to cure technical defects or omissions, including failure to sign or affirm a complaint, to clarify or amplify the allegations in a complaint, or to join additional or substitute � respondents. Except for purposes of notifying additional respondents, amended complaints will be considered as having been made as of the original filing date. x � 3 D. Notification to Rest�ondents 1. The State or local agency will serve a notice on each respondent. A person who is not named as a respondent in a complaint, but who is identified as a respondent in the course of the investigation, may be joined as an additional or substitute respondent by service of a notice on � the person or otherwise in accordance with State and local laws/regulations. 2. The notice will identify the alleged discriminatory housing practice upon which the complaint is based, and include a copy of the complaint. 3. If the person is not named in the complaint, but is being joined as an additional or substitute respondent, the notice will explain the basis for the agency's belief that the joined person is properly joined as a respondent. . 4. Unless the State or local law or regulation � prescribes specific notification requirements, the notice will indicate that the respondent may file an answer not later than ten days after receipt of the notice. The respondent may assert any defense that might be available to a defendant in a court .- of law. The answer must be signed, affirmed, attested to or notarized in accordance with the prescribed State or local law. 5. An answer may be reasonably and fairly amended at any time with the consent of the head or official designee, of the State or local agency. E. The Investigation Process 1. Upon the filing of a complaint, the State or local agency shall initiate an investigation to obtain information concerning the alleged discriminatory housing practice. The factual data must be developed and the respondent's policies and practices must be documented. 2 . Beginning with the filing of a complaint, the agency shall attempt to conciliate or settle the complaint. � . t • � 4 3. At the end of each investigation the agency shall prepare a Final Investigative Report. The investigative report shall contain: (aj The names and dates of contacts with witnesses, except that the report will not disclose the names of witnesses who request anonymity; (b) A summary and the dates of correspondence and other contacts with the aggrieved person(s) and the respondent(s) ; (c) A summary description identifying other pertinent records examined; (d) A summary of statements by witnesses, if applicable; (e) Interrogatories and answers provided, if applicable; . (f) A summary of the evidence and data obtained � during the investigation to substantiate or refute the allegations made, and an analysis of the evidence which sets forth the agency's basis for its cause or no cause determination; , (g) Identification of the type of closure or further action to be taken by the agency; and (h) A statement identifying the relief or settlement obtained, if any. 4 . A final investigative report may be amended at any time, if additional evidence is discovered. 5. The State or local agency will cooperate with HUD by providing information at regular intervals as set out in Section 8 of the cooperative agreement as to the progress of complaint investigation to assure that the investigation is proceeding with reasonable promptness. 6 . For the purpose of FHAP payment, an investigation is completed when at least one supervisor has signed the investigation report. � 7 . A complaint will not be paid under the FHAP if the agency consistently provides closure documents more than 30 days after closure of such complaint(s) . , � 5 II. PROBABLE CAUSE OR NO PROBABLE CAUSE DETERMINATION A. ReQUirements for Acceptance The rationale behind a Cause or No Cause finding is that the investigation has shown sufficient evidence to substantiate or refute the allegations raised. Such evidence is generally established by determining whether (1) the data, information, and analysis are sufficient to conclude that the incident occurred which serves as the basis of the allegations made by the complainant; (2) the unit sought was actually available and on the market at the time of the alleged occurrence, and (3) race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin was a factor in the decision to grant or deny the sale, rental or financing of housing sought by the complainant. B. Documentation Required: The investigative report must be submitted to HUD and must show that, at a minimum: � � 1. the basis and issues are clearly stated in the complainant's allegations or through subsequent perfecting of the complaint; 2. the respondents, the property, and the events or - transactions are properly identified; 3. the investigation included an examination of respondent's stated policies and actual practices insofar as such policies and practices are related to the complainant's allegations; 4 . the agency investigated all of the allegations in the complaint which are covered under the Federal Fair Housing Act and the appropriate State or local law; 5. the disputed issues have been identified and resolved based on the facts obtained during the investigation; � ' , • � 6 6. witnesses and data sources were identified and appropriately interviewed and examined to support or refute the complainant's and respondent's statements; 7. all relevant records were properly identified and examined and/or marked to support what they are or show their relevance to the investigation; and 8. the complainant was given an opportunity to rebut respondent's defenses, and such rebuttal sufficiently refutes the respondent's action or provides further proof to support the respondent's actions. C. Makincr the Determination After examination of the above criteria, a determination of cause or no cause must be made supported by the totality of the facts obtained during the investigation. � . D. Documentation Required The cause/no cause determination must be well documented within the context of the Final Investigative Report as specified in Section I E (3) as contained herein, and mailed to HUD within seven (7) = days after the investigation is completed. III. CONCILIATION During the period beginning with the filing of a complaint and ending with the agency's cause determination or dismissal of the complaint, the agency, to the extent feasible or prescribed by State or local law, will attempt to conciliate or settle the complaint. Unless it is impracticable to do so, the investigation and conciliation or settlement activity must be completed within 100 days of the filing of the complaint. If an agency is unable to complete the investigation and conciliation or settlement activity within these 100 days, the agency must notify HUD in writing and provide reasons for the delay within 10 days. A. Successful Conciliation 1. ReQUirements for Acceptance. The conciliation agreement must: � � 7 (a) be a written agreement which clearly defines the terms of the agreement and which is signed by the complainant, respondent, and the appropriate State or local agency representative; (b) include terms which remedy the unlawful discrimination identified in the complaint and provides relief or compensation for the complainant; (c) contain provisions to adequately vindicate ' the public interest, and prohibit recurring future discriminatory housing practices by the respondent; (d) specifically state that the agreement constitutes closure of the complaint filed with HUD and the State or local agency; and (e) contain a provision which will allow the agency to conduct compliance reviews of all � , settlements and conciliation agreements or other orders issued to resolve the discriminatory housing practice. 2 . Documentation Reauired. The agency must submit: (a) a copy of the conciliation agreement; ~ (b) a description of benefits and computation of actual monetary compensation provided directly to the complainant, if not stated in their written agreement; and (c) verification that the terms of the conciliation have been met (e.g. a copy of the check, a copy of the lease showing that the respondent rented unit to complainant) . If the benefit will occur after the signing of the agreement (e.g. complainant will be allowed to rent at a future date) , the agreement must provide that respondent will notify the State or local agency within a st�ecific period of time after the respondent has complied with the terms of the agreement. � i � 8 B. Unsuccessful Conciliation 1. Recruirements for Acceptance. The State or local agency made a cause determination and the attempted conciliation or settlement efforts were unsuccessful. 2. Documentation Required. The agency should mail pertinent documentation to HUD at the same time it reports the notwithstanding the fact that further agency enforcement procedures may be pending. Documentation must include: (a) a copy of the material required in Section I.E. (3) regarding Final Investigative Report. (b) a copy of the probable cause determination notices to the complainant and the respondent. (c) a copy of the correspondent or other � • documentation that reports on the failed conciliation, including pertinent dates. C. Cases Set for Public HearinQ. Where the agency's conciliation efforts are not successful, and the complaint, under State or local law is set for : administrative hearing or judicial review, HUD shall accept the case for credit provided the above criteria are met. IV. SETTLEMENT CLOSURES HUD recognizes that in some jurisdictions State or local laws only permit settlement of fair housing complaints prior to a determination of cause. This section sets forth the � criteria for processing in those circumstances. The conciliation activity described in Section III does not preclude any State or local agency from resolving a complaint through settlement action. A. NeQOtiated Settlements 1. Requirements for Acceptance. The primary area of importance for the settlement of a case is the satisfaction of the complainant through the terms provided in the settlement agreement.
