Wyo. Stat. Ann. §§ 40-26-101 to 40-26-145 § 40-26-116
Cooperation with other entities.
Operative Text
40-26-116. Cooperation with other entities. The enforcing authority shall cooperate with and may provide technical and other assistance to federal, state, local and other public or private entities that are designing or operating programs to prevent or eliminate discriminatory housing practices.
Section 40-26-116 of Wyoming's fair housing statutes establishes that the designated enforcing authority is both required to cooperate with and permitted to offer technical or other assistance to a broad range of governmental and private entities. This applies when those outside organizations are working to design or run programs aimed at preventing or eliminating discriminatory housing practices. The provision creates a collaborative framework rather than an isolated enforcement structure.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Wyo. Stat. § 40-26-116, the state's enforcing authority may work alongside federal, local, and private organizations that address housing discrimination, which can affect the landscape of fair housing oversight that property owners and managers encounter. Compliant operators generally stay informed about the various entities that may be involved in fair housing programs as a result of this cooperative mandate. Awareness of this interagency and cross-sector coordination can help operators understand the broader network of organizations that may be engaged in monitoring or supporting fair housing compliance.

Section 40-26-116 means that the Wyoming enforcing authority is not the only resource in the fair housing ecosystem — it is required to cooperate with and may assist other public and private organizations working on anti-discrimination housing programs. This broadens the network of entities that tenants may be able to turn to when exploring fair housing concerns, including local agencies, nonprofit housing organizations, and federal bodies. Tenants who believe they have experienced discriminatory housing practices may find it useful to contact tenant-rights organizations or inquire with relevant agencies about what cooperative programs exist under this framework.
