Over half of all incidents of housing discrimination occur on the basis of disability. We assist individuals with disabilities to negotiate reasonable accommodations or modifications when necessary to provide equal opportunity to use and enjoy their dwelling.
We provide training, educational resources, and technical assistance to housing professionals that are obligated to comply with fair housing laws, including landlords, apartments managers, nonprofit housing programs, real estate agents, homebuilders, lenders, insurers, and municipal governments. Housing professionals can contact us for free, confidential information about fair housing compliance responsibilities or to request fair housing training.
DO have clients contact us if they believe they have experienced housing discrimination in any housing-related transaction on the basis of: Race, Color, Religion, National Origin, Disability, Sex, Familial Status
DO have clients contact us if they are a person with a disability and they need a reasonable accommodation or modification to have equal opportunity to use and enjoy their dwelling
DO NOT encourage people to contact us with housing concerns unrelated to discrimination, such as difficulty paying rent or questions about a lease. Instead, refer them to self-help resources for assistance with landlord-tenant issues.
