        <strong><u>Course Description and Objectives</u></strong>

    </p>

    <p>

        ·         This course explores fair housing, bias, and  discrimination in

        real property valuation services. Starting with the basics,  it will review

        federal fair housing laws enacted over the years, including the  Civil

        Rights Act of 1866, the Fair Housing Act of 1968, the Housing and  Community

        Development Act of 1974, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, and  more.

        <br/>

        <br/>

    </p>

    <p>

        ·         We will also look over the Equal Credit  Opportunity Act of 1974

        (ECOA), the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act,  Section 8 (RESPA), and

        the Housing for Older Persons Act of 1995 (HOPA). We  will discuss the

        concepts of redlining, the fair housing complaint process, HUD  enforcement,

        Department of Justice enforcement, private lawsuits, and new  penalties and

        sanctions for non-compliance. <br/>

        <br/>

    </p>

    <p>

        ·         There are several different types of biases. We  will review

        definitions and examples of biases, particularly those that may be

        unintended and potentially occur in real appraisal work. <br/>

        <br/>

    </p>

    <p>

        ·         The current edition of the Uniform Standards of  Professional

        Appraisal Practice (USPAP) will be reviewed for guidance on fair  housing,

        bias, and discrimination.

    </p>

    <p>

        ·         Finally, this course will offer suggestions for  appraisers to

        consider to avoid unintentional fair housing bias and  discrimination

        violations and what they should do if they find themselves the  subject of a

        fair housing complaint.
