Montana Fair Housing responds to inquiries and discriminatory housing complaints, and provides information and support to consumers and industry representatives. MFH investigates allegations of discrimination in housing, counsels victims of discrimination, and facilitates the complaint process. To investigate allegations of housing discrimination, MFH often engages in the process of testing.

Testing is a simulated housing transaction conducted by volunteers and coordinated by MFH staff. Testers must attend a training prior to participating in the testing program.

Testing participants must remain objective throughout the testing process. To assist the organization in reaching objective results, individuals participating in Montana Fair Housing’s testing program cannot have been employed by any housing provider for a period of at least one year, nor have been licensed as a housing provider during the same time period. Persons with a felony and/or perjury conviction cannot serve as testers.

Montana Fair Housing relies on testers to investigate allegations of housing discrimination across the state. Testing results often provide the only concrete evidence that discrimination has in fact occurred, or failed to occur, at the time of
testing.
