Under O.C.G.A. § 8-3-221, Georgia's fair housing administrator is authorized to work alongside federal and local agencies that enforce fair housing laws. This cooperation can include sharing agency services and staff, provided those agencies agree. Any formal written agreements—or their termination—must be published in the Official Compilation of the Rules and Regulations of the State of Georgia, creating a public record of such arrangements.

For Property Managers

O.C.G.A. § 8-3-221 establishes that the state fair housing administrator may coordinate with federal and local fair housing agencies, which can affect how fair housing complaints are investigated or processed. Property owners and managers operating in Georgia should be aware that a complaint filed at one level of government may involve coordination with agencies at other levels. Staying informed about published interagency agreements in the Official Compilation of the Rules and Regulations of the State of Georgia can help operators understand which agencies may be involved in a given enforcement process.

For Tenants

O.C.G.A. § 8-3-221 means that Georgia's fair housing administrator can partner with federal bodies—such as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development—or local agencies to address fair housing concerns, potentially broadening the avenues through which a complaint may be handled. Tenants who believe their fair housing rights have been violated may have the option of filing with state, federal, or local agencies, and those agencies may share resources under agreements published in the Official Compilation of the Rules and Regulations of the State of Georgia. Consulting a tenant-rights organization can help individuals understand which agency or combination of agencies may be best positioned to receive a particular complaint.
