Equal Opportunity
Home ownership, for the most part, can have
the most dramatic impact on an individual or family budget,
investment and lifestyle than any other single transaction.
To ensure the fairness and accessibility of your dream, the
Fair housing Act was created. And, along with other federal,
state and local laws was enacted to guarantee your right
to the real estate market anywhere in the country.
35 years ago, the Fair Housing Act was enacted
into law. This landmark Act prohibits housing discrimination
based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability
or familial status.
Anyone who believes they have experienced housing
discrimination should call HUD's Housing Discrimination Hotline
at (800) 669-9777, or visit HUD's fair housing web site at
www.hud.gov/offices/fheo.
