As people make Marin County their home, the need to enforce fair housing practices is increasing. Fair Housing of Marin conducts random audits, investigates complaints and counsels victims of housing discrimination. The agency also operates ongoing programs to educate the housing industry and the public on issues of fair housing and human rights. Specifically, the grant will be used to enforce HUD fair housing proposals focusing on the needs of immigrants and people with disabilities. We also appreciate the trust that HUD has expressed in giving us this grant.
Housing discrimination affects of every part of our lives and it hurts.
In its award letter, HUD officials specifically praised the local agency for its efforts in fighting housing discrimination and for expanding public awareness of the problem.
