If you reach a settlement, no further action is taken by the Fair Housing Program. If the Fact Finding Conference and further investigation is required, the Fair Housing Program will issue a finding of either Probable Cause or Not Probable Cause. A finding of Probable Cause means that the Commission believes, based on the evidence, discrimination has very likely occurred. If there is insufficient evidence to support a claim of discrimination, a finding of No Probable Cause will be made by a staff member of the Fair Housing Program. If a settlement of the complaint is reached after a finding of Probable Cause, the Lancaster County Human Relations Commission staff will advocate on behalf of the person who filed the complaint at a public hearing of the Commission, or the appropriate court of law.
Further information regarding the complaint process is available upon request.
