Many of these people have been denied housing\, though most pose no threat to their communities. New Jersey’s Fair Chance in Housing Act (FCHA) remedies this form of discrimination by establishing a fair process for consideration of conviction histories during the application process. Join us for this interactive webinar that will provide an overview of FCHA\, including effective implementation strategies and model forms that can be utilized by housing providers. Participants will also explore how conviction record screenings have disproportionately impacted communities of color\, and consider ways to create discrimination-free housing environments.\n\n\nYou need only register for 1 of these trainings on 2/8\, 3/10 or 4/12 (they will be the same and are not part of a series). This event is brought to you by and led by the NJ Division on Civil Rights.\n\nLearn more and register here.
