               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.
