The New York University is the uniquely qualified source because they have access to confidential law enforcement files which are central to the administration and analytic purposes of this evaluation. There are three major requirements: (1) to gather data concerning the patterns and reasons for use of administrative and judicial enforcement of the Fair Housing Act, (2) to provide an assessment of policy options for developing a more balanced use of available enforcement resources; and (3) to obtain a substantial matching contribution.

In the event that you possess the necessary experience, interested persons may identify their capability to respond to the requirement.
