Fair Housing Act Explained

Fair Housing Act-associated liability claims can leave a devastating, long-lasting impact on your municipality and the local community. 

Seemingly neutral internal policies and practices may be discriminatory—even if the discrimination was unintentional. And keeping abreast of the latest updates concerning Federal and State Fair Housing requirements can be challenging.  

How can you be sure your town or city is compliant?

This comprehensive end-to-end resource draws upon decades of extensive legal and liability claims experience distilled into practical, real-world examples and easy-to-implement best practices.

Turn insights into actions: CIRMA Risk Management Data & Analytics  

We share data through comprehensive analytical systems, reports, file reviews, important loss trends, and detailed claim management insights to help you see the big picture and put the right strategies in place to manage the cost of insurance losses, big and small.   We know what’s happening, what might happen, and how you can manage both the expected and the unexpected. For example, CIRMA’s stewardship reports help you: 

  • Analyze past and current loss trends
  • Unveil the cause and cost drivers of losses by accident, injury, and department
  • Review and assess the efficacy of existing risk management initiatives
  • Identify and develop risk management action plans and initiatives to prevent accidents
  • Establish benchmarks for sustained success

And those strategies we just mentioned? We help you develop, implement, and monitor them, too.

CIRMA’s analytical systems provide our members a far richer, more detailed, yet easy-to-understand view of their operations and exposures. In addition, CIRMA’s sophisticated analytical systems provide real-time tracking, analysis, and reporting capabilities for our members, enabling them to monitor, measure, and thereby better manage risk.

Enterprise Risk Assessments for Cities and Towns 

CIRMA Risk Management self-assessments help members identify loss exposures and risk drivers in specific municipal operations and track recommendations from a CIRMA Comprehensive Enterprise Risk Assessment. CIRMA’s Risk Management professionals will work closely with you to review self-assessments and examine alternative risk management techniques for managing your identified risk exposures.
