Extractions: USDA JOINS FORCES WITH HUD TO FIGHT HOUSING DISCRIMINATION Release No. 0225.97 USDA contact: Tom Amontree (202) 720-4623 tom.amontree@usda.gov HUD contact: Victor Lambert (202) 708-0685 USDA JOINS FORCES WITH HUD TO FIGHT HOUSING DISCRIMINATION WASHINGTON, July 11, 1997The U.S. Department of Agriculture can now assist rural Americans with housing discrimination complaints more quickly, efficiently, and with more remedies thanks to a new working arrangement with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman and Housing Secretary Andrew Cuomo today announced that under a new agreement, USDA will refer all fair housing discrimination claims to HUD. Under this system, HUD attorneys will present complaints and HUD administrative law judges will hear the cases. "The American dream of homeownership must not succumb to the nightmare of discrimination," Glickman said. "Equal access to own or rent rural housing is necessary if we are to complete our mission to help build a better rural America," he said, adding that USDA has "zero-tolerance for discriminatory practices" in any of its programs. "This agreement with HUD is part of USDA's commitment to ensure the civil rights of all customers and employees of USDA, and it's also an important part of the President's race initiative." "Housing discrimination is illegal and intolerable everywhere in America whether in our biggest cities or in our smallest rural crossroads," Cuomo said. "Beginning today, we will bring the full force of the Fair Housing Act to bear to stamp out housing discrimination everywhere in our country." The Fair Housing Act provides several rights and remedies that USDA, before this agreement, did not have at its disposal, including the power to impose temporary restraining orders, use subpoenas during investigations, employ testers where appropriate, and impose civil penalties, punitive damages, and damages for pain and suffering. Through its various rental and homeownership loan programs, USDA is the nation's largest provider of rural housing. As part of the agreement, USDA and HUD will share information and documents about civil rights claims which allege a violation of the Fair Housing Act. They will also jointly investigate these claims, maintain and share a cumulative list of claims, and participate in joint training on fair housing. In addition, USDA is reviewing all programs and activities to investigate any past discrimination in the sale or rental of rural housing it finances. Any discrimination uncovered by the investigation will be aggressively prosecuted, Glickman said. In 1996, USDA financed new or improved home ownership opportunities for over 61,000 low- to moderate-income families in rural America. Since 1949 USDA has helped over 2 million rural families purchase their own home and has financed construction of 458,000 units of affordable rental housing in rural areas. Under the Fair Housing Act, HUD receives 10,000 claims of housing discrimination annually. Approximately 11 percent of those come from non-metropolitan areas. While the agreement provides that HUD will investigate and decide fair housing claims, USDA will continue to process complaints under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975. # NOTE: USDA news releases and media advisories are available on the Internet.

W3C XHTML 1.0 Site by Synergy positive about age Recent MORI Social Research reveals that 1 in 5 people have experienced some form of workplace discrimination and, of those discriminated against, by far the biggest cause was age, cited by 38 per cent of people. Age discrimination is not confined to a particular age bracket. It can affect those who are passed over for promotion because they are deemed to be too young as well as those who are forced into early retirement or not given the chance to upgrade their skills because of their age (only 7 per cent of those aged 55 and over receive job-related training). The Age Positive campaign was launched in 1999. It promotes the business benefits of a mixed age workforce and offers practical advice and guidance to employers. An updated Code of Practice on Age Diversity was launched at the end of 2002. By 2010, nearly 40 per cent of the working population will be over 45. This age group not only has a wealth of experience and maturity that few businesses could afford to ignore, but also represents a valuable group of customers:

Extractions: It may be inconceivable to you that your home-based consulting service or handknit sweater business would have to comply with any of the numerous local, state and federal regulations, but in all likelihood it will. Avoid the temptation to ignore regulatory details. Doing so may avert some red tape in the short term, but could be an obstacle as your business grows. Taking the time to research the applicable regulations is as important as knowing your market. Below is a checklist of the most common requirements that affect small businesses, but it is by no means exhaustive. Bear in mind that regulations vary by industry. If you're in the food service business, for example, you will have to deal with the health department. If you use chemical solvents, you will have environmental compliance to meet. Carefully investigate the regulations that affect your industry. Being out of compliance could leave you unprotected legally, lead to expensive penalties, and jeopardize your business. Americans with Disabilities Act The Americans with Disabilities Act requires access to public accommodations and commercial facilities. It's good business sense, and failure to comply can result in severe penalties. For further information, see the American's with Disabilities web site at

Extractions: An Harris survey, conducted in 1992, found that 5.4 million older Americansone in seven of those 55 and older who were not working at that timewere willing to work but could not find a suitable job. These discouraging statistics were cited in The Untapped Resource , a 1993 report on "The Americans Over 55 at Work Program," a 5-year research effort conducted by the Commonwealth Fund to examine the productive potential of older Americans. Age discrimination can be obvious, such as a bank hiring a pretty, inexperienced young woman as a teller instead of an older woman with a strong background in similar jobs. But it's the subtler forms of age discrimination that may have the most powerful effect on cutting short the productive years of Americansthe law partner who is moved to a smaller office when he passes 60, the 50-year-old professional who knows hard work won't bring any more promotions, the vacancy filled by a younger staff member before older workers even know about it, and the new boss who makes life so miserable for the 60-year-old secretary, he inherits, that she quits.
