Together, we can fight housing discrimination and WIN.
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.
Only with your financial support can we fully investigate these fair housing complaints and open the door to available housing. We need your help to enforce this deeply important civil rights law.
