ARE YOU A VICTIM OF HOUSING DISCRIMINATION?
The American Dream of having a safe and decent place to call ‘home’
reflects our shared belief that in this nation, opportunity and
success are within everyones reach.
Under our Fair Housing laws, every citizen is assured the
opportunity to build a better life in the home or apartment of their
choice — regardless of their race, color, religion, sex, national origin,
family status or disability.
