HUD and fair housing organizations use paired testing to identify covert or subtle discriminatory practices that may not be openly admitted—i.e., hidden discrimination—such as disparate treatment in availability, terms, steering, or information provided. Testing is an investigative tool to enforce the Fair Housing Act, not a revenue or punitive scheme in itself.
