                 TITLE 24--HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

 

    CHAPTER I--OFFICE OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR EQUAL OPPORTUNITY, 

               DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

 

PART 103_FAIR HOUSING_COMPLAINT PROCESSING--Table of Contents

 

                   Subpart D_Investigation Procedures

 

Sec.  103.205  Systemic processing.



    Where the Assistant Secretary determines that the alleged 

discriminatory practices contained in a complaint are pervasive or 

institutional in nature, or that the processing of the complaint will 

involve complex issues, novel questions of fact or law, or will affect a 

large number of persons, the Assistant Secretary may identify the 

complaint for systemic processing. This determination can be based on 

the face of the complaint or on information gathered in connection with 

an investigation. Systemic investigations may focus not only on 

documenting facts involved in the alleged discriminatory housing 

practice that is the subject of the complaint but also on review of 

other policies and procedures related to matters under investigation, to 

make sure that they also comply with the nondiscrimination requirements 

of the Fair Housing Act.
