Preparing for an “Active” Marketing Plan

HUD and RD properties - even those with waiting lists - are required to do “affirmative” marketing to those least likely to apply. Many states, including Texas, require this of their tax credit properties as well.  Fair housing expert Gwen Volk, who has written scores of AFHMP’s, says “reaching those target markets can be challenging, but the right online advertising can be part of the solution.”  However, she cautions, “online listings with services that don’t know the rules can lead to violations of the Fair Housing Act.”

RentalHousingDeals.com knows affordable housing and the importance of including the Equal Housing Opportunity and Handicapped logos as well as the non-discrimination language for persons with disabilities required by HUD and RD and many states.  Their website facilitates translation of your listing into over 60 languages which can be a valuable tool for outreaching to LEP populations in your market and expanded market area.  For more information, visit RentalHousingDeals.com or call 626-281-8300.
