About This Episode

What happens when immigration enforcement actions collide with Fair Housing law — and how can operators protect both people and performance?In this episode, John Makarewicz shares a real story from one of our communities where three residents were deported — and the operational, human, and ethical challenges that followed. He breaks down a practical playbook for navigating ICE raids, Fair Housing compliance, and resident care — while maintaining NOI and investor trust.

✅ Fair Housing Framework — what the law actually requires and how to apply consistent screening criteria
