Employment

Housing Testers:

TESTERS NEEDED to Investigate Civil Rights Violations in Ingham, Jackson, Lenawee, Livingston, Monroe and Washtenaw Counties. This is not a part time job, but rather on a "as needed" basis.

The FAIR HOUSING CENTER of Southeastern Michigan is seeking women and men to assist in the investigation of housing discrimination complaints (“testing”). “Testers” pose as home seekers in a variety of housing rental situations. Testers will be paid a per-test stipend or may choose to volunteer. Hours are flexible and attention to detail is a must. Access to personal transportation is helpful, but not required.

The FHC currently needs African, African American, Asian, Caucasian, and Latino/a women and men ages 18-70.

The Fair Housing Center of Southeastern Michigan (FHC-SE) is private, non-profit agency that provides investigative services (testing), advice, advocacy, conciliation, attorney referral, and community education. State and federal law prohibits housing discrimination based on race, color, religion, gender, national origin, family status, disability, marital status, age, sexual orientation, source of income, and student/non-student status.

If you would like more information on becoming a tester, or if you think you have been the victim of illegal housing discrimination, please call Kristen at the Fair Housing Center using our toll free number: (877) 979-FAIR.

You can also download a "Testers Needed" PDF to post around your school, office, neighborhood, etc. The poster includes tabs at the bottom (please cut before putting up) for interested parties to tear off.
