Discrimination is illegal throughout
the state of Massachusetts. It is against the law to deny anyone housing
based on any of the following: Race, Color, Sex, National Origin,
Religion, Children or Family Status, Disability, Marital Status, Age (except
minors), Sexual Orientation, Veteran Status, Ancestry, Source of Income,
Housing subsidies or rental assistance. The Mass. Fair Housing Center provides education,
counseling and free legal services for anyone who has been illegally denied
housing.
The Mass. Fair Housing Center does not stop at people who experience discrimination. We work to
educate everyone about their rights and responsibilities under the fair
housing laws and to bring communities together to strengthen the fight
against discrimination. The Mass Fair Housing Center serves the community in many ways by:
|
Conducting education workshops on
fair housing issues |
|
Investigating claims of housing
discrimination |
|
Providing free legal assistance to
the victims of discrimination |
|
Working closely with city
governments and housing providers on fair housing issues |
|
Requiring all members of the housing
provider community to stop illegal discriminatory practices |
