Cal. Civ. Code § 8-37ee-910
Nondiscrimination in selection process
Operative Text
An entity, in determining the types of housing, accommodations, facilities, services, financial aid, or other benefits which will be provided under any such program or activity, or the class of persons to whom, or the situations in which, such housing, accommodations, facilities, services, financial aid, or other benefits will be provided under any such program or activity, or the class of persons to be afforded an opportunity to participate in any such program or activity, shall not, directly or through contractual or other arrangements, utilize criteria or methods of administration which have the effect of denying any applicant’s selection or assistance in violation of section 46a-64c, 46a-80c or 46a-81e of the Connecticut General Statutes.
Conn. Agencies Regs. § 8-37ee § 8-37ee-910 prohibits any entity administering a housing program or activity from using criteria or administrative methods—whether applied directly or through contractors—that effectively deny an applicant selection or assistance based on characteristics protected under Connecticut's fair housing statutes (C.G.S. §§ 46a-64c, 46a-80c, and 46a-81e). The rule focuses on outcomes as well as intent, meaning that even neutral-seeming policies can run afoul of the provision if they produce discriminatory effects. This applies across the full range of housing benefits, services, financial aid, and participation opportunities offered under covered programs.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Entities administering housing programs covered by Conn. Agencies Regs. § 8-37ee § 8-37ee-910 generally review their selection criteria, scoring systems, and administrative procedures to ensure none produce a discriminatory effect under Connecticut's fair housing laws. Compliant operators typically audit both in-house practices and any third-party or contractual arrangements that touch the applicant selection process. Maintaining documentation of how criteria are developed and applied can help demonstrate that program administration aligns with the nondiscrimination requirements of C.G.S. §§ 46a-64c, 46a-80c, and 46a-81e.

Under Conn. Agencies Regs. § 8-37ee § 8-37ee-910, applicants for covered housing programs have a right to a selection process free from criteria or administrative methods that deny them housing or assistance in violation of Connecticut's fair housing protections. If an applicant believes a program's policies or practices produced a discriminatory outcome, general enforcement paths include filing a complaint with the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities or raising the violation through the relevant program's grievance process. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid providers familiar with C.G.S. §§ 46a-64c, 46a-80c, and 46a-81e can help applicants understand what options may be available to them.
