Fair
Housing
The City’s fair housing program is designed to affirmatively further fair
housing objectives of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VIII of
the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended, and other relevant federal, state, and
local fair housing laws.
“Affirmatively further fair housing” means that the City actively works to
reduce illegal housing discrimination. The City promotes equal housing
opportunity through education and training, monitoring and investigating fair
housing complaints utilizing techniques to support fair housing litigation, and
conduct research and studies to identify and address fair housing impediments.
Fair Housing Act

discrimination based on race, color, national
origin, religion, handicap, sex, familial status
(including children
under the age of 18 living with parents or legal
custodians; pregnant women and people securing
custody of their children under 18).
