Volunteer: Fair Housing Testers- Kent & Muskegon County Seniors Needed!

What is a Tester?

As a tester, you play the role of a home seeker - a person who is looking for a housing unit in which to live. Testers must be at least 18 years old, objective, careful observers, accurate reporters, and truthful and credible witnesses.  View the Qualifications for Testers for more information on what characteristics are important in a tester. Testers are paid a small stipend and can be fully remote!

Become a Tester

Our housing tester program is an interesting way to learn about the community and get first hand experience with fair housing.  Testers play the role of a home seeker and participate in apartment showings, open houses, and other experiences to help us monitor fair housing practices.  Testers are of vital importance to the advocacy and research programs of the Fair Housing Center.  Without a vast and diverse pool of volunteer testers, the Fair Housing Center would be drastically limited in our ability to conduct research and investigate claims of illegal discrimination.

What is Testing?

Testing is a term used to describe the process of checking the housing market to determine the nature and extent of discriminatory treatment practiced against various home seekers. For example, in matched pair testing two or more individuals, similar in every respect other than the variable being tested, are sent to the same sales or rental office. Testers keep careful notes as to what transpires, and then record their experience on a standard report form. Differences in the treatment of testers often form the bases for successful resolution of a housing discrimination complaint.

Why Testing?

The testing process has been consistently supported by federal courts as a legitimate and necessary method to identify practices of unlawful housing discrimination. In West Michigan, successful complaints filed by claimants have been based upon evidence obtained by Fair Housing Center testers.

How Do I Become a Tester?

If you are interested in taking on the challenging and rewarding role of a tester, email us to learn about upcoming tester training dates.  To register for a tester training via phone, or for more information about testing, contact Sarah Brandt at (616) 438-5712 or 1-866-389-FAIR.

The testing process has been consistently supported by federal courts as a legitimate and necessary method to identify practices of unlawful housing discrimination. In West Michigan, successful complaints filed by claimants have been based upon evidence obtained by Fair Housing Center testers.

How Do I Become a Tester?

If you are interested in taking on the challenging and rewarding role of a tester, email us to learn about upcoming tester training dates.  To register for a tester training via phone, or for more information about testing, contact Sarah Brandt at (616) 438-5712 or 1-866-389-FAIR.

Volunteer: Volunteer Kidney Companion

KIDNEY COMPANIONS MUST:

Be 18 years or older

Have a valid driver’s license and access to reliable transportation

Have a flexible schedule to provide transportation, if needed

Attend volunteer orientation. The orientation is divided into 3 sessions each lasting 1-2 hours.

Have COVID vaccine and Annual Influenza vaccine

WHAT DOES THE ROLE INCLUDE?  As with any friend or family member going through a major health crisis, a transplant support person [kidney companion] provides emotional and physical support and advocacy for the patient.

Prior to transplant, they help drive patients to medical appointments at the transplant center; this may be up to 3-4 times per year.

They help at the time of hospitalization for transplant, including receiving medical education and providing emotional support.

At home, particularly as patients have a lifting restriction for several weeks post-surgery, they assist with housekeeping if needed, grocery shopping, day-to-day errands, and general emotional support. This level of in-home support is expected for 6-8 weeks post-transplant.

After transplant, they help drive the patients to medical appointments. In the immediate post-transplant period, they may be asked to drive the patient to medical appointments as often as 2-3 times per week for the first month and then 1 time per week for the second month.

At the medical appointments, especially after the transplant, the kidney companion will also play a key role in supporting the patient. At these appointments, patients can be overwhelmed by the amount of information given and medications prescribed, and the kidney companion will be critical in assisting the patient with all of these changes and medication management.

WHAT THE ROLE DOES NOT INCLUDE:  

Kidney companions do not provide medical care, nursing care, wound care nor are expected to provide any financial support. Our patients already have a dedicated team of nurses, doctors, and social workers, both with the transplant center and dialysis center, who are primarily responsible for the patient’s medical care, insurance coverage and applications, appointment times, etc.
