At HCS, our Fair Housing initiative includes education and outreach to groups, individuals and housing professionals to promote equal access to housing for all. We also encourage people who have been the victims of housing discrimination to take steps to have the issue addressed in accordance with the Fair Housing Act and/or the local law depending on the jurisdiction where the incident occurred.
HCS has fair housing literature available for you to distribute to your fellow residents, co-workers, your tenants, or employees.
For information about your fair housing rights and for help filing housing discrimination-complaints contact the HCS Fair Housing team at 202-667-7715 or fairhousing@housingetc.org
