Following a civil rights testing investigation by the Equal Rights Center (a fair housing nonprofit, not a government agency), GREP Atlantic, LLC agreed to a five-year agreement covering all Greystar-managed Virginia properties: income requirements based only on the tenant's rent share for voucher holders, no credit-score screening where a voucher covers full rent, signage and training, and 20 compliance tests.
