The agency was incorporated in 1974 and is governed by a Volunteer Board of Directors. The Fair Housing Center of Lake County was established to provide education and outreach to the Lake County community regarding the Fair Housing Act and to affirmatively further Fair Housing practices throughout Lake County. Fair housing means you may freely choose a place to live without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability or family status.
Fair housing is a right protected by federal, state and local laws.
Housing discrimination is against the law. The Fair Housing Center of Lake County staff are available not only to provide individual assistance but can be invited to speak to employers, churches, landlords, realtors, apartment complex managers, lenders and other community groups such as Chambers of Commerce, Rotarys, Exchange Clubs, etc. regarding discrimination and fair housing practices.
