宾夕法尼亚州住房平等中心(Housing Equality Center of Pennsylvania)是一家私营、非营利、提供全方位服务的公平住房组织,它提供各种计划和服务,以确保《公平住房法》所保护阶层的成员能够平等地获得住房。

我们的使命

宾夕法尼亚州住房平等中心的使命是促进所有宾夕法尼亚州人公平、平等地获得住房机会。

我们的历史

住房平等中心成立于 1956 年,比 1961 年通过的《宾夕法尼亚州公平住房法案》早了 5 年,比 1968 年通过的《联邦公平住房法案》早了 12 年,这要归功于一位名叫玛格丽特-希尔-柯林斯(Margaret Hill Collins)的布林茂女性,她是一位积极进取、意志坚定的女性。
