The past two years have been busy ones for lawyers representing tenants in housing discrimination matters in Connecticut. Most recently, an undercover operation that used volunteers to pose as would-be tenants helped plaintiffs to reach a settlement in a federal discrimination lawsuit against the Housing Authority of the Town of Winchester.
This approach, using so-called testers, will be used again in coming months, with a $227,000 grant to the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities being used to pay for the initiative.
