The Fair Housing Center of Central Indiana (FHCCI) needs a diverse group of dependable, conscientious people 18 years and older to assist in gathering information about housing practices. These persons are commonly referred to as "fair housing testers" or "mystery shoppers." Testers are provided training and a stipend for their time and related expenses. Stipends vary depending on the task assigned. These positions are classified as part-time positions although hours are based upon your availability and tests needed.
Testers are of various racial and ethnic groups, men and women, over a broad range of ages with and without disabilities. Testers serve an important role in identifying when housing discrimination may or may not be occurring. The testing process has been consistently supported by federal courts as a legitimate and necessary method to identify practices of unlawful housing discrimination.
To participate in our testing program, YOU MUST:
- Be detail oriented
- Be a good listener and observer
- Have a telephone and access to a computer
- Have a desire to work on behalf of civil rights protections
- Have a desire to work and interact with, as well as demonstrate respect for individuals and groups without regard to race, religion, gender, color, national origin, familial status, disability, ancestry, sexual orientation, age and/or military service veteran status
You should also have your own means of reliable transportation, although, in limited situations transportation may not be necessary. Due to the potential to be a witness to a fair housing violation and federal grant requirements, testers are screened for criminal history and any possible conflicts of interest. Please note that testers are considered part-time employees. If you have any questions or are interested in applying, contact the FHCCI for more information at ( info@fhcci.org) with "Fair Housing Tester" in the email header. You’ll be contacted shortly after receipt about next steps.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Fair Housing Center of Central Indiana (FHCCI) is to ensure equal housing opportunities by eliminating housing discrimination through advocacy, enforcement, education and outreach.
Description
The Fair Housing Center of Central Indiana (FHCCI) recognizes the importance of "home" and envisions a country free of housing discrimination where every individual, group and community enjoys equal housing opportunity and access in a bias-free and open housing market. We envision a country where integrated neighborhoods are the norm, and private and public sectors guarantee civil rights in an open and barrier-free community committed to healing the history of discrimination in America.
The FHCCI has two primary goals in its work to fight housing discrimination:
- educate the public on fair housing laws so people recognize and report problems and understand their responsibilities, and
- engage in enforcement activities to eliminate unlawful discriminatory practices.
The FHCCI fights housing discrimination not only because it is unlawful, but also because it is a divisive force that perpetuates poverty, segregation, ignorance, fear and hatred.
