Testers needed of all ages, to investigate civil rights violations in Ingham, Jackson, Lenawee, Livingston, Monroe and Washtenaw Counties.

The Fair Housing Center of Southeastern Michigan is seeking women and men to assist in the investigation of housing discrimination complaints ("testing"). "Testers" pose as home seekers in a variety of housing rental situations. Testers will be paid a per-test stipend or may choose to volunteer. Hours are flexible and attention to detail is a must. Access to personal transportation is helpful, but not required.

 The FHC currently needs woman and men from all racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds.

 The Fair Housing Center of Southeastern Michigan is private, non-profit agency that provides investigative sevices (testing), advice, advocacy, conciliation, attorney referral, and community education. State and federal law prohibits housing discrimination based on race, color, religion, gender, national origin, family status, disability, marital status, age, sexual orientation, source of income, and student/non-student status.

 

If you would like more information on becoming a tester, or if you think you have been the victim of illegal housing discrimination, please call the Fair Housing Center using our toll free number: 1-877-979-FAIR.
