Explanation
Conciliation agreements are negotiated settlements in fair housing cases. After HUD or the Illinois Department of Human Rights investigates a complaint and finds probable cause, they often attempt to resolve the matter through conciliation. A conciliation agreement may include monetary compensation to the complainant, policy changes by the respondent, training, and monitoring. If conciliation fails, the case proceeds to hearing or litigation.
