The Housing Rights Center is looking for volunteer testers to conduct apartment surveys and assist with the investigation of housing discrimination complaints under the fair housing laws.
Testers play the role of a person who is looking for a housing unit in which to live. Testers must be objective, careful observers, accurate reporters and truthful witnesses as they will be responsible for reporting their experience to the Housing Rights Center.
This is a volunteer position with no guaranteed minimum of hours or assignments but testers are offered a stipend for their work and have the ability to work very flexible hours, with future opportunity to become a temporary, part-time employee. (Example: Pay for one assignment-$40 per assignment plus mileage).
Testers must have a reliable vehicle, carry auto insurance, and maintain confidentiality about their tests.
Prospective testers must attend a 2-hour non-paid training session and pass a criminal background screening.
Next Step after training would be to conduct a "practice test" ($20). Allows for HRC staff to provide feedback. After all is cleared, then you will be entered into a pool of testers to be called for to assist with investigation of housing discrimination, to which you will receive a stipend per completion of each assignment.
Candidates must not have filed a complaint with HRC or HUD in the past 5 years, nor work in real estate or property management.
