Fair Housing
Local,
state and federal fair housing laws provide protection from
discrimination in housing based on a person belonging to a “protected
class.” Housing discrimination occurs when individuals or families
receive different treatment because they belong to a "protected
class".
Protected classes are: race or color, religion, country of origin,
gender, ancestry, familial status (families with children), marital
status, age (except legally designated senior communities), physical
or mental disability, sexual orientation, and source of income (such
as TANF or SSI).
For more information on housing discrimination, or to make a discrimination
complaint, contact the Center for Human Rights and Law Advocacy (CHRLA)
at (916) 444-6903. CHRLA and the Human Rights/Fair Housing Commission
of Sacramento provide fair housing counseling free of charge to residents
of West Sacramento.
