The administrator shall commence such educational and conciliatory activities as in the administrator’s judgment will further the purposes of this article. The administrator shall call conferences of persons in the housing industry and other interested parties to acquaint them with this article and the administrator’s suggested means of implementing this article and shall endeavor with their advice to work out programs of voluntary compliance and of enforcement. The administrator shall consult with state and local officials and other interested parties to learn the extent, if any, to which housing discrimination exists in this state, and whether and how enforcement programs might be utilized to combat such discrimination in connection with the administrator’s enforcement of this article. The administrator shall issue reports on such conferences and consultations as the administrator deems appropriate.
Under O.C.G.A. § 8-3-207, the designated administrator overseeing Georgia's fair housing article is directed to carry out educational and conciliatory work aimed at reducing housing discrimination. This includes convening conferences with housing industry participants and other stakeholders to explain the law and explore voluntary compliance, as well as consulting with state and local officials to gauge the scope of discrimination in Georgia. The administrator is also authorized to publish reports summarizing the outcomes of those conferences and consultations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
O.C.G.A. § 8-3-207 establishes a framework in which housing industry participants—including property owners and managers—may be invited to conferences organized by the administrator to learn about Georgia's fair housing requirements and discuss voluntary compliance approaches. Operators who engage constructively with these outreach efforts generally demonstrate a commitment to understanding and implementing the article's requirements. Staying informed about any reports or guidance issued by the administrator under this provision can help property managers align their practices with the state's fair housing goals.

O.C.G.A. § 8-3-207 empowers the administrator to actively investigate the extent of housing discrimination across Georgia and to pursue educational and conciliatory measures as part of the state's fair housing enforcement framework. Tenants who believe they have experienced housing discrimination may find it useful to know that this provision supports outreach and consultation efforts that can inform how enforcement programs are developed and applied. Tenant-rights organizations and state or local fair housing agencies can be valuable resources for understanding how the broader enforcement structure created under this article may be relevant to a particular situation.
