Section 5:80-22.2 - Monitoring

(a) The Agency will monitor projects to assess the degree to which the activities undertaken pursuant to an approved Plan conform with the applicable Fair Housing Laws and Regulations. In conducting monitoring, the Agency will determine:

1. Whether the applicant or sponsor has made a good-faith effort to carry out the provisions of the approved Plan and related Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing requirements; and

2. Whether progress has been made toward achievement of the objectives of the Plan.

(b) Agency staff will conduct on-site monitoring which will entail an examination of records, visual inspection of the project and interviews with applicants, rental/sales agent and staff, occupants and community organizations identified in the Plan. Records which may be examined include applications (for both accepted and rejected prospective occupants), and documentation relating to advertising.

(c) Failure to make a "good faith effort" to comply with the Plan could result in the loss of Agency financial assistance. All complaints regarding discrimination will be forwarded to the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights for formal criminal investigation.
