Our organization's mission is to provide education and outreach services explaining fair housing laws, as well as enforcement and investigations following complaints we receive.

We provide a number of brochures explaining fair housing laws. Also, we have videos, available for loan, demonstrating fair housing laws in action.

There are many organizations providing fair housing coverage in states across the union, some of which you can link to from here.

We also have five summary articles available, providing general guidance on five aspects of fair housing law:

1. Advertising
2. Disability
3. Accessibility
4. Familial Status Discrimination (families with children)
5. National Origin Discrimination

(503) 223-8197 or 1-800-424-3247 (TTY) (Se habla espaņol) or HUD 1-800-877-0246
