Plain English

Under Omaha, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. IV § 13-355, when a housing discrimination complaint is resolved through conciliation, the resulting agreement is a binding contract between the complainant and the respondent. However, that agreement does not take effect on its own — it must receive approval from both the local director and the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. This dual-approval requirement ensures that conciliation outcomes meet both local and federal fair housing standards.

For Property Managers

Property owners or managers who reach a conciliation agreement under Omaha, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. IV § 13-355 should be aware that the agreement is not final until it has been approved by the director and the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Compliant operators typically document all agreed-upon terms clearly and cooperate with any review process required by both the local authority and HUD. Keeping records of communications and signed documents throughout the conciliation process is a practice consistent with meeting the approval requirements this provision establishes.
