You can stop housing discrimination. Let's keep people housed.

While apartments sit open, black and brown people are told that nothing is available to rent—often with a smile and a handshake. People who use wheelchairs are routinely denied simple accommodations, like a parking space near the entrance of their apartment or a curb cut. Families are told they have "too many children" for the housing that meets their needs. Women continue to suffer from sexual harassment by unscrupulous landlords.

These are examples of housing discrimination—and you can help stop it. With your financial support, we can thoroughly investigate these fair housing complaints and open the door to available housing. We need your help to enforce this fundamental civil rights law.
