The Fair Housing Act (FHA) is a federal law that bans housing discrimination in just about all types of rental housing. The law forbids communities from denying housing to anyone—or treating them differently—based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, and familial status.
Owners, managers, and individual employees all may be held liable for a fair housing violation based on a broad range of discriminatory practices against those protected under the law.
In addition, the FHA bans discriminatory statements—by your employees or in your advertising—that indicates a preference, limitation, or discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, or familial status. And the law also prohibits retaliation against anyone for exercising her rights under fair housing law or assisting others who exercise that right.
The Illinois Department of Human Rights (IDHR) enforces laws against housing discrimination in Illinois. IDHR investigates complaints of housing discrimination based on protected classes such as race, disability, familial status, and others. Housing discrimination continues to be a problem and takes many forms such as unequal treatment, discriminatory advertising, and perpetuation of segregation. To report housing discrimination, people should document any issues, report possible violations to enforcement agencies, and be aware of their rights and responsibilities under fair housing laws.

- The document discusses research on racially exclusive real estate advertising and its effects.
- The research found that while some African Americans were sensitive to all-white ads and responded negatively, most were not significantly influenced unless they strongly identified with their own race.
- Integrated ads with multiple races were viewed more favorably by both white and black respondents overall.
- The study suggests flaws in real estate advertising methodologies but did not find evidence that all-white ads alone dissuade African Americans from seeking housing in those areas.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

2. #1: It’s Illegal to Exclude Anyone Based on a Protected
Characteristic
You may wonder why fair housing law is still needed. After all, the country
has moved a long way from the old days when blatant discrimination
against racial minorities was common. Today, you’d never dream of
saying, “Whites Only” or “No Minorities” in signs or advertising. Yet signs
of such blatant discrimination continue, particularly on the Internet where
you don’t have to look hard to find ads saying, “Adults Only” or “No Kids.”
Just as it’s illegal to refuse to rent to anyone because of her race, you can’t
deny housing to anyone because she has a child under 18 living with her—
unless the community qualifies as a senior housing community. It’s not
easy to comply with all the legal requirements to qualify, such as recordkeeping rules to show that at least 80 percent of units are occupied by at
least one person 55 and older. Without complying with these and other
rules, your community could be accused of discrimination based on
familial status by refusing to allow children to live there.

3. #2: Subtle Discrimination Is Just as Bad
Subtle forms of discrimination are just as illegal as blatantly discriminatory
policies. The FHA outlaws a wide range of discriminatory practices—from
outright refusals to rent to more subtle tactics—that operate to deny
housing based on a protected characteristic.
Last year, HUD reported that blatant acts of housing discrimination faced
by minority home seekers continue to decline in the United States, yet
more subtle forms of housing denial stubbornly persist. The report was
based on the results of fair housing testing involving 8,000 pair tests in 28
metropolitan areas across the country. Though few were denied an
appointment to see an advertised unit, the study found that real estate
agents and rental housing providers recommended and showed fewer
available homes and apartments to African-American, Asian, and Hispanic
families.

4. #2: Subtle Discrimination Is Just as Bad
(continued)
“Fewer minorities today may be getting the door slammed in their
faces, but we continue to see evidence of housing discrimination that can
limit a family’s housing, economic, and educational opportunities,” HUD
Secretary Shaun Donovan said in a statement. “It’s clear we still have work
to do to end housing discrimination once and for all.”
Among other things, it’s unlawful to provide inaccurate or untrue
information about the availability of a unit because of
race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national
origin, according to HUD regulations. You could open your community up
to liability for significant damages for misrepresenting availability to
prospects based on their race or national origin.

5. #3: Don’t Make It Harder
Take the time to learn your community’s standard policies and procedures
and apply them to everyone expressing an interest in—or living at—your
community. Consistency is the key to avoid accusations that you’re treating
anyone better—or worse—than anyone else based on her
race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, or familial status.
For example, you shouldn’t make the application process harder for
minority prospects—or anyone else protected under fair housing law.
Applying more burdensome application procedures, requiring additional
documentation, or using delaying tactics based on a protected
characteristic could lead to a discrimination claim.
Vendome Real Estate Media |

6. #4: Watch Your Words
What you say could come back to haunt you. Under the FHA, it’s
unlawful to make, print, or publish statements that suggest any
preference, limitation, or discrimination based on
race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, or familial status.
These rules apply to any statements—spoken or written. So you could
face a fair housing claim if you make discriminatory statements when
communicating with prospects or residents—whether on the phone, in
person, or responding by email. You should watch what you say since a
fair housing problem could arise whenever you’re dealing with
prospects or residents in the office, in the hallway, or in their units.
The rules also apply to discriminatory advertising—even online. Even
though the rules have been around a while, HUD says that the ban on
discriminatory advertising applies to any form of
communication, whether in traditional forms of media or on the
Internet. And in some cases, online advertising has led to accusations
of discrimination under state fair housing laws.

7. #5: Keep Personal Opinions to Yourself
We all have personal opinions about how people should behave based
on where we live, how we were raised, and other factors, such as our
religious beliefs or political views. Of course, everyone is entitled to
have personal opinions, but it’s important to remember that they are
just that—strictly personal.
Don’t allow your personal beliefs or political opinions to affect how you
treat prospects, applicants, or residents. For example, some people
disapprove of unmarried women having children, but showing that
disapproval in the way you treat them could trigger a discrimination
claim based on familial status.

8. #5: Keep Personal Opinions to Yourself
(continued)
Guard against allowing your views on hotly divisive political issues—
such as immigration reform—from spilling over into the workplace. You
could face a discrimination claim based on national origin if you treat
prospects differently because they’re members of a particular ethnic
group.
Don’t be thrown off by first impressions based on the way applicants or
residents look, dress, or speak. Often, they reflect cultural differences
associated with race, national origin, or religion, all of which are
protected under fair housing law. Take care to avoid even the
appearance of unfavorable or discriminatory treatment.

9. #6: You Can Be ‘Too Helpful’
Take care to maintain a professional manner when dealing with
prospects, applicants, and residents. You may think you’re just being
nice, but you could trigger a fair housing problem by being too nice—or
too helpful—for the wrong reasons.
The prime example is unlawful steering—that is, guiding applicants
to—or away from—the community or particular parts of the
community based on a protected characteristic. In some cases, it’s
based on racial or ethnic bias—to keep minorities out of the
community or segregated in certain areas within the community. But
sometimes, it’s out of a well-intentioned—but misguided—attempt to
help the applicant. For example, you may believe that an individual
with a disability would prefer to live in a first-floor unit, but you could
trigger a discrimination claim if you don’t tell her about available units
on other floors that meet her needs. It’s unlawful to limit a prospect’s
housing choices based on your beliefs about what she would prefer or
what would be best for her because she has a disability.

10. #7: Don’t Pick on Anybody—Especially the Kids
It’s okay to enforce reasonable rules, especially in common
areas, where the community has a legitimate interest in maintaining
the property, ensuring safety, and protecting the right of all residents
to peaceful enjoyment of their homes. Just make sure that the rules
don’t unfairly target families with children—or anyone else protected
under fair housing law.
You may have legitimate concerns about outdoor play activities that
could disturb neighbors or damage your landscaping—but you could
trigger a discrimination complaint if the rules unreasonably interfere
with the ability of families with children to live in the community.

11. #8: Don’t Be Too Quick to Say ‘No’
Applying standard rules and procedures for all your residents is
important, but there’s a catch: You may have to make exceptions for
individuals with disabilities.
Fair housing law includes special provisions protecting individuals with
disabilities. Among other things, the law requires housing providers to
consider requests for reasonable accommodations in
policies, procedures, and services when necessary to allow an individual with
a disability to use and enjoy use of the home.
It’s easy to see the need for an exception to community rules when an
individual has an obvious disability-related need for the request. If your
community has a “no pets” policy, for example, you must grant a request for a
reasonable accommodation to allow a visually impaired resident to keep a
guide dog, according to federal guidelines. It’s clear that the individual has a
disability-related need for the exception and that enforcing the rules would
interfere with his ability to live there.
Vendome Real Estate Media |

11
12. #8: Don’t Be Too Quick to Say ‘No’
(continued)
But it’s not so easy when the request comes from an applicant or
resident who doesn’t have an apparent disability. The law covers a
broad range of impairments, many of which are not obvious or
apparent, and allows you to request documentation under certain
circumstances.
Just don’t be too hasty to reject requests just because you’re unsure
whether a prospect or applicant is, in fact, disabled.
Otherwise, you’re likely to face a disability discrimination complaint.

13. #9: Don’t Bite Off More Than You Can Chew
There’s a lot you can do on your own—and with the COACH’s help—to avoid
fair housing problems, but don’t be afraid of getting outside help when the
circumstances deserve it. Court dockets are full of cases where
owners, managers, or employees tried to go it alone—often with unfortunate
results.
Sometimes a seemingly simple problem suddenly gets out of hand, and other
times, it’s a complicated legal issue. Requests for reasonable
accommodations often fall into this category, particularly for exceptions to
pet policies to allow the resident to have an assistance animal. Perhaps the
resident doesn’t have an apparent disability—or perhaps the animal is a pit
bull or other restricted breed. You may—or may not—have to grant the
request, but you do have to give it thoughtful consideration. Following the
rules can be challenging, so it’s a good idea to get legal advice if you’re not
sure what to do.

14. #10: Stay on Top of Paperwork
Everyone is very busy these days, so you may find that you have
little time—or inclination—to sit down and do the paperwork. Big
mistake: Good record keeping is essential to defend yourself—and
your community—from accusations of a fair housing violation.
Under the law, people have quite a long time to file a fair housing
complaint. It may be months—or years—since the alleged
discrimination occurred. Without the paperwork, how can you be
expected to remember just what happened? Even if you do, it’s
not as good as documentation created at the time of the events in
question. Memories fade, and stories change, so it gives the other
side a leg up if you can’t produce the records to back up your side
of the story.
