Testers help make sure that people are not denied housing because of their race, color, national origin or ancestry, religion, sex, sexual orientation, disability, family status (living with minor children), or because they are getting public assistance.
Fair Housing Testing is an effective way to get answers to these questions. Fair Housing Testers mystery shop for apartments and homes and report back about their experiences while shopping.
Diverse backgrounds and experience are welcome. Our testing program needs hard-working people from all walks of life, from all the protected groups, and "control" testers who are not members of a protected group.
If you are interested in helping us with this important work or would like more information please send me an email with your name, e-mail and phone number so that we can get in touch with you. You can email Ms. Polland at catyra@savannahfairhousing.org.
