Federal and state laws prohibit discrimination in housing because of a person’s disability. These laws apply to rental, sales, advertising, and mortgage lending practices.
It can be helpful to be informed about your housing rights and housing discrimination so you know what to watch for, how to protect yourself, and what you can do if your rights have been violated. In December and January, we’re hosting two webinar series to help you understand your housing rights. All webinars will be held on Zoom.
Fair Housing Rights webinars will cover how the Fair Housing Act protects people with disabilities from housing discrimination and allows you to request reasonable accommodations. Webinar schedule:
