Section 8-37ee-7 - Requisite approvals, notifications, and reports(a) The affirmative fair housing marketing plan and selection procedures shall be approved by the affirmative action office of the department prior to final approval of the recipient's application.(b) Any modifications made to the plan and procedures subsequent to final approval shall also be approved by the affirmative action office.(c) Recipients shall submit a Notification of Intent to Begin Marketing to the department, no later than 90 days prior to engaging in sales or rental marketing activities. Upon receipt of the Notification of Intent to Begin Marketing from the recipient, the department's affirmative action office shall review any previously approved plan and, if necessary, may schedule a preoccupancy conference at the department.(d) Such conference shall be held prior to initiation of sales or rental marketing activities. At the preoccupancy conference, the previously approved plan shall be reviewed with the recipient to determine if the plan, and/or its proposed implementation, requires modification prior to initiation of marketing in order to achieve the objectives of the affirmve fair housing marketing regulation and the plan.(e) Three reports regarding racial and economic make up of housing shall be made to the affirmative action office before final occupancy: one after the period for submission of applications; one after pre-screening; and one after final selection. These may be done by telephone with written follow-ups for verification. If the affirmative action office finds at any stage that there are insufficient "least likely to apply" candidates due to a lack of good faith affirmative fair marketing efforts, then the affirmative action office shall reserve the right to require additional outreach until such time as a sufficient effort has been expended or a sufficient number of applicants are available. Such additional outreach may delay the occupancy of units. The affirmative action office may further require a compliance meeting, as specified in Section 8-37ee-8, below.(f) Recipients shall be required to collect racial and economic data from tenants and persons on waiting lists. The data collected shall analyze income groups and races served, and shall be reported to the Commissioner annually, before October thirty-first for the year ending the preceding September thirtieth. The analysis shall also include data for all households entering the housing development or project during the year ending the preceding September thirtieth and in occupancy the preceding September thirtieth.Conn.
