               DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
 
PART 103_FAIR HOUSING_COMPLAINT PROCESSING--Table of Contents
 
                    Subpart E_Conciliation Procedures
 
Sec. 103.300  Conciliation.


    (a) During the period beginning with the filing of the complaint and 
ending with the filing of a charge or the dismissal of the complaint by 
the General Counsel or the Assistant Secretary, the Assistant Secretary 
will, to the extent feasible, attempt to conciliate the complaint.
    (b) In conciliating a complaint, HUD will attempt to achieve a just 
resolution of the complaint and to obtain assurances that the respondent 
will satisfactorily remedy any violations of the rights of the aggrieved 
person, and take such action as will assure the elimination of 
discriminatory housing practices, or the prevention of their occurrence, 
in the future.
    (c) Generally, officers, employees, and agents of HUD engaged in the 
investigation of a complaint under this part will not participate or 
advise in the conciliation of the same complaint or in any factually 
related complaint. Where the rights of the aggrieved party and the 
respondent can be protected and the prohibitions with respect to the 
disclosure of information can be observed, the investigator may suspend 
fact finding and engage in efforts to resolve the complaint by 
conciliation.
