For Providers/Lenders

High Plains Fair Housing Center reaches out to the housing industry to build the kinds of alliances that will help ensure that every resident of this nation is afforded the opportunity to live where they choose. Housing providers and lenders can take the following steps to prevent discrimination:

• Apply standards equally to all applicants for housing or financing
• Provide potential tenants/buyers the opportunity to consider a broad range of housing choices in their price range without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, the presence of children in the household, or other prohibited classifications
• Provide equal professional services to all in the financing, appraising, or insuring of housing
• Do not limit potential tenants/buyers to certain neighborhoods, buildings, or floors
• Provide reasonable accommodations in rules, practices, and procedures for persons with disabilities
• Take steps to ensure housing is free from harassment or intimidation
• Develop, distribute, and post a written anti-discrimination policy
• Discipline agents and employees who engage in discriminatory behavior
• Provide regular fair housing training for all agents and employees
• Take immediate corrective action if discrimination has occurred
